Buxton & Leek College is offering 5 exciting pathways in T Levels, with a 6th coming soon.
T Levels are new nationally recognised qualifications that follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels. These two-year programmes have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses, so the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work, further training, or study.
T Levels mix classroom learning with ‘on-the-job’ experience during am industry placement of at least 315 hours.
T Levels are also:
- Worth UCAS points, with a T Level Distinction worth the same as 3 A Levels at A*.
- Recognised by universities and other education providers, so you can continue studying if you wish.
- Involve more classroom study than Apprenticeships. You can experience industry while you can continue your studies.
