T Levels

DEVELOP EFFECTIVE WORKPLACE SKILLS WITH OUR INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS

Full-time T Level students aged 16–18 will complete a mandatory industry placement(s) or, for Foundation T Level students, a shorter‑term block of work experience with a relevant external employer or voluntary organisation to complement your studies.

THIS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO:

• Apply the knowledge learned at college to the workplace
• Improve your communication, teamwork, confidence and problem-solving skills
• See how a business operates in the real world
• Test your career choices and aspirations
• Line up an employer reference and achieve an additional college certificate for future use
• Develop your placement into part-time work alongside your studies and/or full-time employment with your employer once you have completed your time with us.

For students undertaking a T Level qualification, you will undertake an industry placement and complete a defined amount of time in the workplace alongside studies. The standard model is one day per week during term time across both years, with weekends and holidays used where possible to meet required hours.

POWERED BY INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS

Strong partnerships with outstanding employers – like recently awarded Shepherds Spring Preschool recognised for their incredible support – give our students direct access to meaningful, real‑world experience.

Supported by our Industry Placement and Curriculum teams you will log hours, reflect on your experiences, and stay on track throughout your course.

T Levels also also carry UCAS points, meaning that if you finish your qualification with a grade Distinction*, it is worth the same as 3 A levels at A*.
