Recommendation 15
15
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 64
Review the Transition Programme to understand low learner progression to full T Levels.
Conclusion
The Department must work with providers to review the Transition Programme to determine why so few learners progress onto the full T Level. We would expect an effectively functioning Transition Programme to support at least half of learners to progress to the full T Level, with virtually all Transition Programme learners able to move onto a level 3 qualification by the end of the year.

Acknowledged
T Levels and the T Level Transition Programme are still relatively new programmes, and providers are still learning what works in supporting progression to T Levels. We have strengthened the programme informed by evidence from the first year and developed national technical content for greater consistency from September 2022. The Department wants to ensure that the T Level Transition Programme supports access to T Levels for those young people taking it as a progression pathway to a T Level, so we will work with providers to better understand early progression outcomes and how more learners can be supported onto T Levels as the programme is rolled out more widely. We have committed to use data on progression from the T Level Transition Programme from the early years of delivery, to support the development of accountability measures that will be published following national rollout of the programme.
