Celebrating T Levels Learners at Chelmsford College This October!

13 – 17 October is T Levels Week and Chelmsford College is so proud to be marking this moment and celebrating the success of its learners. Chelmsford College started offering T Levels in 2022 and have now expanded its T Level offer to include courses ranging from IT to Childcare, Business, Construction and more!

T Levels are two-year courses that young people can take following GCSEs. Broadly equivalent in size to 3 A Levels and accruing UCAS points. T Levels are developed in collaboration with employers to ensure that learners will be equipped with the skills they need. They offer a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on the job’ experience with at least 45 days spent on an industry placement with an employer. With a T Level, learners can progress straight on to skilled work, higher study or apprenticeships. Our T Level learners have achieved amazing results. They are moving on to such a wide range of next steps, with some going straight into the workplace and others starting a higher-level apprenticeship or going to university. We’re looking forward to seeing how they succeed in the future.

"T Levels are at the forefront of this government's technical education offer. They are excellent qualifications based on employer-led standards and they break down barriers to opportunity, giving young people hands-on experience through industry placements. T Levels are also helping to build talented workforces - around a third of T Level students who progress into employment get jobs with their T Level Industry Placement employer. I’m delighted to champion T Levels Week as we ensure these qualifications continue to thrive through our Plan for Change. T Levels are growing year on year, with £28 million of additional investment this year for specialist equipment. I would encourage young people to consider taking a T Level – including the brand new Marketing T Level – as a fantastic route into a rewarding career."
