T-level Preparation

The first cohorts of providers have delivered T-levels from September 2020. These videos describe ways in which these institutions prepare their offer of T-levels, as part of their wider work to be technical education ‘routes ready’.

College staff describe their experiences of delivering T-levels in Childcare & Education, Construction and Digital and what their advice is for other colleges preparing to deliver T-levels.

In December 2018, Lee and Morag update on early strategic planning to embed T-levels in their college’s provision.

Lee Hunt and Morag Davis explain why their colleges have chosen to deliver T-levels from 2020, and the benefits the new programmes offer for their students.
