T Levels at Riverside College
New T Level Qualifications
At Riverside College we are introducing two of the new T Level qualifications. These are Engineering and Manufacturing and Education & Early Years.
T Level qualifications are new nationally recognised qualifications offering an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships, and other vocational courses. Equivalent to 3 A levels and giving the same UCAS points for university, a T Level focuses on industry skills.
The main difference with a T Level qualification is that students spend 80% of the course in College, and the other 20% on a meaningful industry placement. T Levels have been designed with more than 250 leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need to progress on to a degree, degree apprenticeship or into the workplace following your course.
