Updated guidance advises:
For education and childcare settings from Friday 1 April:
New Full-time study options will be available soon for those wanting to apply for September 2024.
SGS are excited to be one of the first colleges in the country offering the new T Level qualifications at our Filton campus starting September 2022. These two-year technical courses are equivalent to three A Levels, include a 45-day work placement and are ideal if you want to enter employment in a skilled role or progress to university.
T Levels are an alternative to A Levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses.
Equivalent to 3 A Levels, a T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships.
Each T Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days.
Students get valuable experience in the workplace; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry.
T Level students spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need.
The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action.
T Levels give you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you continue your studies. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer to give you the skills and knowledge companies look for.
T Levels have been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need.
Your T Level will be worth UCAS points – a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A* – and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish
Filton and A-Levels only - Thursday 28th September 5.30pm-8.00pm
