T Levels are a new, high-quality alternative to A Levels and apprenticeships, designed to give you the knowledge, skills, and experience needed for skilled employment, higher apprenticeships, or university.

These two-year courses combine classroom-based study with a substantial industry placement, making them an excellent choice for students who want to learn by doing.

Who are T Levels for?

T Levels are best suited for students who:

  • Want to combine study with practical, hands-on experience.
  • Prefer a structured course with coursework, practical projects, and exams.
  • Are interested in progressing to university, apprenticeships, or employment in a technical field.
  • Are keen to develop workplace skills through a minimum 45-day industry placement.

What will you study?

Each T Level is equivalent to three A Levels and is designed in collaboration with employers and industry leaders to meet real-world job demands.

You will study:

  • Core theoretical knowledge in your chosen industry.
  • Specialist skills relevant to your career path.
  • An extended work placement, giving you practical experience and professional contacts.

T Levels are available in a range of high-demand sectors, including:

  • Health & Science – Supporting careers in nursing, laboratory work, and healthcare.
  • Engineering & Manufacturing – Leading to careers in civil engineering, design, and technical services.
  • Digital & IT – Preparing for roles in cybersecurity, software development, and data analysis.
  • Education & Childcare – Building pathways into teaching, early years education, and childcare.
  • Construction & Building Services – Providing specialist skills for site management, surveying, and design.

Why Choose T Levels at Newham College London?

Studying a T Level at Newham College London gives you:

  • A nationally recognised qualification equivalent to three A Levels.
  • Direct access to industry placements with top employers.
  • Hands-on learning in industry-standard facilities.
  • Clear progression routes into employment, apprenticeships, or university.

What Comes Next?

After completing a T Level, you can:

  • Go straight into skilled employment in your chosen field.
  • Progress to a higher or degree apprenticeship to earn while you learn.
  • Apply to university, as T Levels carry UCAS points equivalent to A Levels.

Is This the Right Route for You?

If you enjoy practical learning, real-world experience, and industry-focused study, T Levels could be the perfect fit.

If you prefer a more traditional academic route, consider A Levels. If you want to train on the job while earning, an apprenticeship may be a better option.
