Lets talk about the College

Selecting the right college is a huge decision that can shape your future. London South East Colleges offers a mature learning environment and skill development opportunities to help you progress towards your career or university goals.

T Levels are designed to give you a head start towards your desired future. They follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels.

The two-year qualification brings classroom and industry placement together on a course designed with the best employers.

You’ll spend 80% of your time in College and 20% on an industry placement (roughly 45 days) to equip you with the skills employers seek.

Your T Level will help you step straight into your chosen career, an apprenticeship, or a degree.

 

  • How are T Levels graded?

    T Level grades are calculated by combining the results from different components of the qualification:

    • Core Component:
      You are assessed on the core subjects, which are graded on an A-E scale. This part of the T Level focuses on general skills and knowledge relevant to the industry area.
    • Occupational Specialism:
      This component assesses your skills in a specific occupational area. It is graded as Pass, Merit, Distinction, or Distinction*.
    • Industry Placement:
      While not directly graded, completing a substantial industry placement is a mandatory requirement for achieving a T Level.
    • Overall Grade:
      The final T Level grade is an aggregate of the core component and the occupational specialism grades. The overall grade is awarded as Pass, Merit, Distinction, or Distinction*, depending on the combination of grades achieved in the core and specialism components.
    • Additional Requirements:
      Some T Levels may have additional requirements that need to be met, which could include specific projects or assessments.

    The T Level certificate will display the grades for each component as well as the overall grade.

  • Why choose a T Level?

    You’ll spend 80% of your time in College and 20% on an industry placement (roughly 45 days) to equip you with the skills employers seek and to give you a taste of what a real career is like in you chosen industry.

    Your T Level will be worth UCAS points – a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A* – and will be recognised by universities and other education providers.
