What are T Levels? 

What are T Levels? 

A T Level is a nationally recognised qualification for 16 to 19-year-olds. It's a great way to become qualified while getting on-the-job experience.

A T Level takes two years to complete and includes a minimum of nine weeks working with an employer on an industry placement. 

The work placement is an essential part of the T Level programme - allowing students to really develop their skills in a practical work environment.

However, up to 20% of this placement can now be taken in a remote working envirnment - where appropriate - allowing these placements to better reflect modern work practices.

T Levels are one option after finishing GCSEs. 

You could apply to take a T Level in Agriculture, Land Management and Production, giving you the core knowledge and skills needed for a range of jobs in agriculture, land management and production.

The Agriculture, Land Management and Production T Level can be taken in one of four specialist pathways. These are:

  • Crop, horticulture and trees
  • Livestock
  • Land-based engineering
  • Floristry
