Myth of the month
‘T Levels are not as difficult as A levels…’ |
|
|
| T Levels are every bit as rigorous as A levels! One T Level has roughly the same teaching time of three A levels – and carries the same number of UCAS tariff points. T Levels also include an industry placement with an employer, so students also get vital experience of the workplace in addition to their time in the classroom. To discover more, please visit the T Levels website here. |
