Occupational specialism component:
• Synoptic assignments in an occupational specialism graded distinction or merit or pass.
45 Day Industry Placement
Each T Level includes an in depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Students get valuable experience in the workplace and this will provide you with industry-specific knowledge and skills to boost your prospects; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry.
How will it be delivered?
• Paper A written examination
• Paper B written examination
• Employer-set project
To achieve a grade for core component, students must have results for both subcomponents (the core (written) examination and the employer-set project).
The combined results from these sub-components will be aggregated to form the overall core component grade (A*–E and U).
What can I do next?
Following the successful completion of your T Level course, you will hold the UCAS points equivalent to three A Levels, so you will be able to progress to Higher Education to study a university level course or a Higher Apprenticeship.
Alternatively, you may choose to enter skilled employment direct into fields such as digital applications technician, digital service technician, infrastructure technician, IT solutions technician, cyber security officer and network cabler installer.
