Announcement: T Level Updates 

On Friday 21st March 2025 we have announced a package of updates to support growth of T Levels. Please find more details of this announcement here. 

Have your say: how should the DfE target employer engagement activity for T Levels? 

This is your opportunity to tell us your experience of sourcing industry placements and the types of employers you work with. The results will inform decision making relating to our employer engagement activity, for example how to prioritise different T Level routes or geographical areas, and how we support providers with industry placements as demand for T Levels grow. We need as many responses as possible to build a reliable picture, so we welcome your thoughts and appreciate your time.

Please follow this link to complete the survey.

May 2025 T Level data collection – for all T Level providers

The T Level data collection will open on 7 April and will collect data from all T Level providers on their T Level delivery intentions from the 2026 to 2027 academic year.

It is important for you to complete this data return accurately and by the closing date, which is 9 May, as is a requirement to receive a revenue funding adjustment to reflect T Levels and will use your data to plan revenue funding.

If you have decided not to deliver T Levels in the 2026 to 2027 academic year please tell us via this collection.
If you have an enquiry on how to complete the T Level data collection, please get in touch using the TLDC.ENQUIRIES@education.gov.uk mailbox.
