The ‘T’ stands for technical. T Levels give 16- to 19-year-olds a technical alternative to A levels. One T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels. T Levels can also lead you to university degrees, apprenticeship degrees, further training, and employment. They are highly valued by universities and employers alike.

T levels aren’t an easy option, and you’ll have to work hard. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning theory and practical skills. Then, for the other 20% of your time (45 days minimum), you’ll put these skills into action on an industry placement with an employer.
