T Levels
T-levels are new, government-backed, career focused qualifications – an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses. Students spend 80% of their time at College and 20% of their time developing the skills needed for the workplace, on a 45-day industry placement. (Find out more about industry placements here.)
Myerscough College's Preston Centre will be offering T-Levels in the subjects listed below from September 2024, plus a dedicated one-year T-Level Transition Programme.
The T-Level courses will run alongside the established Level 3 Diploma programmes in each of the subjects indicated. Students should initially apply for the current Level 3 Diploma options (via the website online application process) and then the Admissions Team and departments will contact you to discuss which route best meets your career aspirations.
The entry requirements for all T Levels (except Light Vehicle Maintenance) will be a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 (including Maths, English and Science), with a Grade 6 in Maths required for the Vehicle Maintenance and Engineering route.
