Find out about T Levels from students, teachers, careers leaders, employers and a university representative. This 6-minute film explains what makes T Levels different from existing post-GCSE choices and who they will suit.
T Levels are new 2 year qualifications that have been designed with employers to give young people a head start towards the careers they want. A T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels and attracts the same UCAS points. They combine classroom work with an extended industry placement to ensure young people gain the knowledge and skills they need to move into skilled work, an apprenticeship or further study.

What we really wanted was a course that could allow us low socio-economic status families from troubled homes, to apply for universities that those from advantageous families who can afford their kids’ tuition fees, and hence prepare them better for A-levels, could apply to. What the government did instead is fill in job positions, and not give low income, less advantageous families a chance to prove themselves worthy of going to university just as someone from an advantageous family. I'm disheartened, really. It’s not what we wanted. You should not be giving kids 2 years to study rigorously and in the midst of all the stressful period, apply to top universities, expect from us to have a pristine grade record ever since GCSEs knowing that not all of us are lucky to be born into a stable family and have a stable upbringing. This did not bridge the gap, it’s only making it wider by turning people away from universities.

0:41 Who seriously looks at UCAS points? 1:21 3 A Levels in what? I'm not going to take someone with T Levels over someone with A Level Maths, Further Maths and Physics 3:25 Now do it for Oxbridge or Imperial College London rather than an ex-polytechnic! I'll stick to IB thank you.

I'm doing a t-level in digital design production and development and honestly it's the biggest waste of time. A levels or IB would be significantly better for most students

Problem with this is nobody thought about the idea of t levels properly. Industry placement isn't always possible say if you live in a more remote smaller area or that line of study isn't available in that area, The other issue is do you rlly need work experience if your going into uni a levels are mainly for uni btec is set up so you can go into an apprenticeship or job, T levels is were going to make you do all of a levels work and work placement on top of it so you have no time for revision or part time work, we already have a BTEC with included work experience at 30 hours which is enough for going into a job these t levels are 20% work experience who decided that ridiculous there are many colleges now all over uk ive seen many right now building t level buildings for t levels including the 2 i have been to. and all i wonder is what is the purpose in all that investing into it we already have btec just change or adapt the btec.

So are T Levels the next best thing to A levels? Can one enter any uni just after completion as is the case with A Levels? Is A Level relevant anymore?

Absolutely not as a T-level student. I'm doing T-level DDD. and I can say, because of how new it is, it's not really set up well. And very difficult, with my course only having a 50% pass rate, on top of 50% of my class dropping out. 1. A T-level is equal to 3 A-levels. Using Exams, and an employer set project, to judge you. They last 2 years, and the transition programs last 1. 2. No and yes. Some universities accept T-levels as valid educations, however some like Oxford, Cambridge, (the big unis) do not accept them. So yes if you're planning to go to a local/nearby uni, but if you want to be successful, no. 3. Absolutely! A-levels are 100% relevant, and in my opinion offer a more diverse range of potential positions for the future, as well as being more reliable, with 100% uni if you study. If you're considering a t-level, don't. It's very difficult to find job positions for work experience, and due to how new the t-level program is, no lecturers can properly teach you it.

@@hetbet3879 very difficult? how? 50% pass rate (on top of 50% dropout rate) tells me that there is something seriously wrong with this school, I expect schools to have 90% A*-A and 95% A*-B! It doesn't tell me at all how difficult it is. Westminster School and Eton College has 90% of its students achieving A*/A yet people found Westminster School and Eton College lots of hard work and very difficult. I agree that A Levels/Cambridge Pre-U are 100% relevant but only in like 20 subjects (Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Further Maths, English Literature, History, Geography, Economics, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Philosophy and Theology, History of Art, etc.). Oxford and Cambridge are not the big universities. They environment is smaller than most universities as they're separated by colleges. 1 T Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels? How? If Imperial College London doesn't accept them at all then it's not equivalent. In fact, not only it's not equivalent, I think placing a T Level on the level of a qualification from East Asia like Gaokao is unfair even if Gaokao isn't really equivalent to A Levels. Also 4 A Levels are the standard, not 3. Therefore if T Levels is "equivalent" to 3 A Levels then it isn't sufficient and you need another A Level or similar or "equivalent". Equivalent to 3 A Levels in what? e.g. Cambridge Pre-U Physics is equivalent (or only slightly better) than A Level Physics. What about a T Level?

@@notacademicallyperfect4183 Unsure what you mean. 3 is the standard. You can only choose to study 3 a-levels within college. And yeah. It's terrible. Not the school, but the course. 50% pass rate, many drop out during the first few months. Seems more business focused rather than computer science.

@@hetbet3879 Im doing BTEC Engineering the course is great covering all aspects of engineering just the school has awful teachers who can barely speak a fluent sentence of English before leaving class for a phone call coming back in class swearing and marching around every class or shaming a student for not doing work correctly when he doesn't explain how its done. Most of the class insists on not speaking English now either so yeah i cant rlly join in anymore with most of them.
