Seye's Computing experience
Seye has completed the T Level course and is now progressing to a Degree Apprenticeship in Data Engineering with Shell UK in London.
After collecting his final exam results and receiving a Distinction, he said:
“I chose a T Level because you get the work experience and at the end, you can still go to uni or do apprenticeships.
“I did 50+ applications when I heard about degree apprenticeships. The work experience from the T Level helped a lot. It strengthened my CV for my applications.”

Five Tech jobs you can do with a T Level in Digital
4 August 2025
Specialist digital skills are in high demand! Here are five exciting roles you can progress into after completing your T Level.
“I chose to study IT because I’ve always loved tech. I thought that I may as well figure out how it all works, rather than just playing with it all the time.
“I really want to work in IT when I’m older. So far on the course we’ve been debating AI, the importance of VR, talking about ethics in Computing and whether exams or coursework is better. It’s been super interesting.”
Denzel
Level 2 Digital and IT Skills
“I’ve learnt to work independently and have gained lots of new skills I didn’t expect to. Compared to my A Level experience, College has been much better.
“I’d recommend Computing to anyone, because there’s so much support for people who haven’t studied it before, but also independence for those who have and want to push themselves.
Shasa
T Level Digital Production, Design and Development
“I want to be a CGI Designer, so it made sense for me to start off with an IT qualification.
“Now I’ve passed, I can go on to studying Media. I’m so much less anxious than I was when I first started College. I’ve got good friends, I see them every day and I am much more sociable.
