Introducing T Levels
INTRODUCING
TAKE YOUR FU URE TO THE NEX LEVEL
Both Croydon College and Coulsdon Sixth Form College will be hosting new T Level courses from September 2022.
T Levels follow GCSEs and are equivalent to three A Levels. They are developed in collaboration with employers and businesses to ensure the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work, further training or study. Designed by employers, T Levels offer those aged 1618 a headstart in their career through a mixture of classroom learning and on-the-job experience via an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days). T Levels enable students to develop practical skills, knowledge and behaviours that show they’re occupationally competent and apply theory in real workplace settings. Students will take an exam at the end of each academic year to test their understanding of the subject, along with a skills assessment and a project to complete at your work placement. At Croydon College teachers will be leading a course in Engineering and Manufacturing, while at Coulsdon Sixth Form College there is the opportunity to study Laboratory Science. Teaching time will be spent in specially-designed classrooms that mirror a working environment, which will further enhance the learning experience.
