Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, they are. A single T Level is the academic equivalent of three A Levels and carries the same number of UCAS points. While A Levels are subject-based and assessed mostly through exams, T Levels are career-focused and combine classroom learning with a substantial industry placement.
It depends on the route you choose. If you study A Levels, you will typically pick three different subjects to study alongside each other. However, if you choose a Diploma or a T Level, you will usually study just that one course, as it is a full-time programme designed to cover everything you need for that specific career.
The current minimum wage for apprentices is £7.55 per hour if you are under 19 or in the first year of your training. If you are 19 or over and have completed your first year, you are entitled to the higher National Minimum Wage for your age group, which can be up to £12.21 per hour.
