If you are not aware T Levels Qualifications are new Two-Year, Level 3 study programmes that will follow the study of GCSEs and Technical Awards at Key Stage 4 and offer an attractive alternative to A Levels and Apprenticeships.
T Levels will combine Classroom Theory, Practical Learning and a minimum 315 hours of Industry Placement with an employer to make sure students have real experience of the workplace.
Students will also need to achieve a minimum standard of English and Maths; either GCSE grade 4 or above, or Level 2 Functional Skills.
The T Level Technical Qualification in Construction: Design, Surveying and Planning has two mandatory components:

Student Voice
I’m more of a hands-on learner and my course involved a lot of practical work, which was good. The tutors in Plumbing are great and really helpful. It was an opportunity presented by North Lindsey that allowed me to apply for my apprenticeship, so my course definitely helped me with my progression. I learnt a lot of skills needed to be successful in industry.
