T Level courses are a qualification designed to give you a head start towards the future you want.

They follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels.

The 2-year qualification brings classroom and work placement together, on a course designed with employers and businesses.

Two years of full time study.

Placements will start in the first year of the T Level dependent upon student readiness and securing a placement.

Yes, they attract UCAS points the same as A Levels and BTECs.

An industry placement lasts around 45 days, undertaken as a block or as individual days.

The specific length of the placement and when it takes place will differ depending on your T Level. Typically, your placement will be across 1-2 days per week.

You will need to fund travel to and from your industry placement.

You may be eligible for a bursary to cover these costs. Find out more.

Yes. With T Levels, you can gain just as many UCAS points as you would with A Levels. For example, gaining a Distinction* in your T Level is the equivalent of three A* grades at A Level – both will get you 168 UCAS points.

Some placements may be outside Milton Keynes (in surrounding areas) but you can choose to focus on applying for placements that suit you and your transport.

Students can approach employers and if they meet the health & safety, insurance and other criteria we can support the student and the employer to set up an industry placement.  The College will also work with employers to provide industry placements that are open for application. Students generally will have to apply for these with a CV and may have an interview to ensure there is a match between the student and the employer.
