T Levels

T Levels

T Levels are a two-year, career-focused qualification designed to help you move into skilled employment, university or apprenticeships. Equivalent to three A Levels, T Levels combine classroom learning with real industry experience, giving you the knowledge and practical skills employers are looking for. If you want a more hands-on approach to learning and a direct route into your chosen career, T Levels are an ideal choice. 

Why Choose T Levels at UCG?

  • Learn from experienced tutors and industry professionals
  • Develop technical knowledge alongside employability and workplace skills

“The course began with a recap of what I covered at GCSE level, which made it a comfortable start. You get to request the areas you are most interested in for the work experience modules – for me networking and software engineering, and I’m really looking forward to the industry placements and seeing how things work in the real world.”
