What is a T Level?

A T Level is a two-year qualification that focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, Higher Education or Apprenticeships.

Gain valuable experience with a required 45-day work placement.

T Levels and A Levels are equally recognised by universities and employers; the choice of which route to take is up to you.

Georgie's Computing Experience

'T Level Student of the Year 2024' – BCS

“I’m excited to be starting a Degree Apprenticeship with Dunelm, in the future I’m aiming to become a Senior Data Analysist, working on large scale projects.

“I’m really thankful for my time at College. Originally I thought I would study something within the arts, but when I saw the T Level Digital Production, Design, and Development course advertised, it caught my eye.

“I’ve now found a new passion and a career path that excites me.”

“Studying the T Level has been really beneficial. I feel like I’ve learnt a lot more about programming, and what it’s like to work in the computer industry than I would have done doing an A Level.

“I’m looking forward to heading to university after my course.”

Aiden
T Level Digital Production, Design and Development

“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.
