What are T Levels?
The government has created T Levels in partnership with businesses and employers to give you the technical skills and knowledge to succeed in the workplace. These brand-new qualifications will give you a head start towards the career you want.
Can I get into a good university with T Levels?
Yes. T Levels are equivalent to 3 A Levels, which means you gain the same number of UCAS points as A Levels, depending on the grades you achieve. At CTK we have a long history of teaching advanced vocational courses that are equivalent to 3 A Levels. Almost 92% of our students on these courses go on to university, including Russell Group universities.

How are T Levels different to A Levels?
T Levels have been designed by employers to meet specific skills needs they have within their business or organisation.
This means that each T Level qualification have been created with an end career or job in mind. These will create your pathways to high level professional careers which may also require you to study a university qualification or degree apprenticeship once you complete the T Level.
A Levels are broader and usually not focused on a particular career – you can choose three or four A Level subjects to study together with a range of potential university course destinations in mind.
