Case Studies
The NexT LevelQualification
T Levels offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement.
T Levels are aimed for advanced students (at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 including English Language and Maths) who are aged 16-18 and recognise their strong interest for a technical industry.
Designed by employers, T Levels let you get a head start in your career whilst learning and developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to work within industry or progress to higher level study.
Industry Placement
- Undertaken with an external employer
- Minimum of 45 days.
- Students develop technical skills and apply them in a workplace environment.
T levels will be delivered in specially designed classrooms that mirror a working environment in their industry (for approximately 80% of their time). The remaining 20% of their time will be spend on an industry placement with an employer.
If you are an employerfind out how you can get involved in T Levels and benefit from helping to train young people into tomorrows leaders and employees.
