Each two-year course has been designed with employers from multiple sectors and combines classroom study with a 45-day industry placement to prepare your child for the world of work, or further study like a higher level apprenticeship or university.
T Levels
T-levels are new, government-backed, career focused qualifications for 16- to 19-year olds. They’re equivalent to three A-levels and are also backed by hundreds of British businesses, who helped to design the courses.
We will be starting T-level qualifications at Langley in September 2024
Why study a T-Level?
Programme
Every T-level is taught through a mix of classroom and workplace-based learning. Students will spend 80% of their time at college and 20% developing the skills needed for the workplace on industry placement.
Value
Understanding of the real world of work is incredibly valuable. As well as helping students to make more informed choices about their career pathway, they will gain experience that employers look for when it comes to hiring.
Skills
Students will build essential skills, such as teamwork and communication, for their future employment
Progress
Students will put their skills and knowledge into practice in the real world of work, and build contacts with with employers for future progression
Options
T-levels are a good option even if a student only has a rough idea of the career or field they’re interested in. The study and industry placement aren’t linked to a specific individual role or job. Instead a student will be given a broad exposure to an industry and the many different roles it offers.
Going straight into employment is one option after completing a T-level and all students will have a head start on the skills they’ll need in the workplace.
Alternatively they could start an apprenticeship or higher level studies including university. One T-level is the equivalent of three A-levels, so has the same UCAS points value.
Transition
T-levels give young people a great headstart in the field they’d like to work in. Many will move to studying a T-level straight after their GCSEs.
Other young people may benefit from more time to get ready to study a T-level. The Transition Programme has been created for just this purpose.
Lasting a year, the T-level Transition Programme can give a student the relevant knowledge, practical and study skills they need to then begin the T-level course of their choosing.
