T Levels are two-year courses that can be studied by 16-18 year olds after finishing their GCSEs. T Levels are based on the same standards as apprenticeships, designed by employers and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. They are the responsibility of the Minister of State for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education in the Department for Education.
In September 2023, it was announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that T levels will, eventually, be merged with A-levels to form the Advanced British Standard.
