A Levels

Information on A levels

A-Levels, or Advanced Levels, are academic courses that allow you to do several subjects at the same time.

Typically, students can study three or four subjects at the same time. The range of subjects available depends on the size of the College or 6th Form, where you might find an array of options ranging from 15 to 35 subjects.

Whether you have a passion for science or a love for the arts, A-Levels may be right for you. 


T Levels

Information on T Levels

T-Levels are new and exciting technical courses you can take in college. If you already know the kind of job you want in the future, T-Levels may be a good choice. You'll spend 315 hours working in a place related to what you're learning, which gives you lots of hands-on experience while you study.

You can choose from different areas like construction, nursing, accounting, and more. These courses are similar to A-Levels in terms of being challenging, one T-level is equivalent to 3 A-levels, but the good thing is they focus on specific jobs. So, if you already have a clear idea of the job you want in the future, T-Levels might be just right for you!
