T Levels at The Sheffield College

T Levels - The next level qualification

T Levels are a brand-new 2-year qualification which can be studied after you finish school instead of A Levels, Apprenticeships or vocational study programmes.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Each T Level has specific entry requirements to ensure you are studying at the correct intensity.

As T Levels are equivalent to a Level 3 qualification, most subjects will have entry requirements of 5 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including English Language and Maths.

WHAT CAN YOU DO AFTER T LEVELS?

T Levels have been designed alongside businesses and employers to make sure you gain the skills and knowledge they are looking for in a new employee.

Although T Levels are designed to get you ready for work, they also prepare you to progress into higher education. Upon completion of your T Level, you could choose to continue studying with a higher apprenticeship, progress to study a university level qualification, or employment.
