The Department for Education has revealed the new T Level branding to help boost awareness of the new courses ahead of the 2020 rollout.
The launch will be the first step towards raising awareness of T Levels in schools and colleges ahead of the 2020-2021 academic year, helping young people in the process of deciding their route into post-16 education.
T Levels are new qualifications to better prepare students for the world of work and higher-level study. The two-year course will combine classroom theory with practical learning and an industry placement and will be available to students who have completed their GCSEs.
Anne Milton, Minister for Skills and Apprenticeships, said: “T Levels will be the biggest change to technical education in a generation. T Levels will help young people to fast-track their career and help them get to the next level giving them a head start in the world of work.
“Right from the start we have worked with employers, young people, their parents and education providers. I want more and more people to understand that T Levels are a high quality, advanced and desirable qualification with employers at the heart of their design. I can’t wait for more people to learn about what T Levels have to offer and how it they can open up a world of exciting options.”
