FAQs

Do I have to study a T Level?

No, we still offer other vocational options for 16 – 19 year olds that will allow you to progress to higher study, apprenticeships or employment, as well as apprenticeships of all levels.

Where can I progress after completing a T Level?

T Levels are equivalent to three A Levels, so you can progress wherever you wish to! You can choose to progress to a degree or other higher study or apprenticeship, or you can go straight into skilled employment.

How are T Levels different to A Levels?

T Levels are designed to get you the practical skills you need, while A Levels focus more on theory.

One T Level is equivalent to three A Levels and you’ll still be awarded UCAS points. This is because on a T Level, you study one subject with different pathways, in order to gain in depth knowlege and skills in your chosen area.

Each T Level is a two year programme and includes an industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning the skills that employers need, and the other 20% in industry, putting these skills into action and gaining real experience.

How are T Levels different from Apprenticeships?

T Levels are designed to bring classroom learning and work experience closer together and you’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom learning the skills, with the other 20% spent in the workplace putting them into practice.

This is different from an apprenticeship, where the focus is more on workplace training. On an apprenticeship, you spend 80% of your time in a real, full-time job, with 20% of the time spent in a classroom being supported.

Can I start my T Level now?

Not quite yet, our T Levels will launch in September 2023, but we are now accepting applications. Head over to www.kidderminster.ac.uk/apply to apply

What qualifications do I need to study a T Level?

You’ll usually need around four GCSEs at grade 6 or above, including maths and English to study a T Level. Each course is different, so please check the entry requirements of the T Level you’re interested in.
