The consultation closed

Overview

The Institute would welcome views from employers, providers, professional bodies and other interested parties on the following pathways which could be developed into a T Level in the future:

  • Hospitality pathway
  • Community exercise, physical activity, sport and health occupational pathway

Feedback from this consultation will form part of a wider piece of analysis to assess T Level suitability for current occupational pathways that have not been developed into a T Level.

Why we are seeking views

Feedback will help us:

  • validate some of the data that has been gathered on the  Hospitality and Community exercise, physical activity, sport and health industry
  • understand whether a T Level would be feasible/appropriate, in terms of deliverability

Points to note

Any potential T Level relating to Hospitality and Community exercise, physical activity, sport and health would not be delivered until 2024 at the earliest.

What are T Levels?

T Levels are two-year, technical study programmes that will be available initially across 24 pathways in 11 industry routes. They are delivered in a classroom-based environment with 20% of the time spent on an industry placement working in employer settings.

Alongside apprenticeships and A levels, T Levels will be one of the three major options available to students aged 16 to 19.

Employer panels set out the knowledge and skills required for each T Level, based on the same occupational standards as apprenticeships. This ensures that individuals taking T Levels can develop the technical knowledge and skills required by employers in that industry.
