T Levels are two-year technical courses after GCSEs that are the same size as three A Levels.
They are designed to provide students with a hands-on learning experience, developing the skills that employers need and contain a work placement that lasts at least 45 days.
T Levels are designed by employers and are based on the same occupational standards as apprenticeships.
