In honour of National T Levels Celebration Week, Warrington & Vale Royal College is celebrating its diverse range of T Level qualifications, providing students with a combination of academic learning and practical experience to kickstart their careers.
As a leading T Level provider in Warrington, the college is committed to delivering courses that align with industry needs, equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in the workplace.
What are T Levels?
T Levels are a high-quality technical qualification designed as an alternative to A Levels. Developed in collaboration with employers, these two-year programmes combine classroom learning with real-world experience, allowing students to develop the employability and sector-specific skills and become job-ready. Equivalent to 3 A Levels, T Levels provide a clear pathway to skilled employment, higher apprenticeships, or university following completion of the course.
At Warrington & Vale Royal College, students can choose from a variety of T Level courses, in subject areas including: Accountancy & Business, Digital & IT, Early Years, Engineering, Health & Social Care, Science, Motor Vehicle and Media. The college also provides a number of T Level Foundation Year courses, designed to support students who may need to strengthen their GCSE results before progressing to a T Level course.
How does the Industry Placement work?
A cornerstone of the T Level experience is the industry placement, which spans a minimum of 45 days (approximately 315 hours) over the two years of study. This hands-on placement allows students to apply their learning in a professional environment, develop valuable workplace skills, and make meaningful connections with potential employers. Warrington & Vale Royal College works closely with local and national employers to ensure placements are both enriching and aligned with students’ career aspirations.
