Have you ever imagined what it would be like to gain hands-on experience in your field of interest while still studying? Enrol in a T Level course and that dream will become a reality.
T Levels blend classroom learning with substantial on-the-job experience, giving you an edge over your peers. The programme includes a significant industry placement lasting a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days) over your two-year course.
Why is this important? This placement provides you with a golden opportunity to:
• Gain essential workplace skills: T Level students spend 80% of their time in the classroom, learning the skills employers need. The remaining 20% is spent on meaningful industry placements, where you will apply those skills in realworld settings.
• Build confidence: Nothing boosts confidence like firsthand experience. By navigating the professional world, you’ll develop a solid understanding of how to thrive in your chosen field.
• Prepare for your career: These placements are more structured and longer than traditional work experience, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your industry.
Since T Levels have been launched our students have worked with our industry partners in several exciting ways, such as:
• Building a bungalow
• Designing a community garden
• Listening to industry leader talks
• Visiting a European city
We are immensely proud of our industry partnerships that grow week by week and the opportunity it gives our students to achieve their career goals.

“I’ve always wanted to be a Midwife, supporting women at a vulnerable time. Getting to work at Burnley Hospital and Blackburn Hospital as part of my T Levels really helped me to be confident in my decision.”
“There are so many different pathways to progress when you know what subject area you want to work in. A Levels aren’t for everyone and with T Levels you can achieve a place at one of the country’s leading Universities.”

One of the real strengths of studying a T Level is the opportunity to work alongside experts in an actual workplace. I’ve been out on real building sites, making plans and 3D models, surveying and more, using the equipment that professionals use. Combining that with classroom theory means both the academic and practical sides are covered.
