An FE lecturer provides key insights from their experience into the value of T-levels and the practical benefit to students

There is increasing recognition that an academic route isn’t one-size-fits-all for learners. The T-level qualification provides a career-driven, vocational path into science, taking the practical aspect of the BTEC qualification and elevating it with industrial partnership. This gives students real-world scientific experience. With T-levels the intended successors to BTECs, and only a recently introduced qualification, there are many questions about this new vocational offering. Key among these questions is, what is it like to deliver T-levels to post-16 learners? Alison Ackroyd, a lecturer at MidKent College, shares her experience of delivering T-levels and the positive impact they’ve had on her students.
