Register to become a T Level provider

The T Level registration 2026 to 2027 academic year application process closed in March 2025 and enabled providers to apply to receive upfront funding and support. Institutions can still deliver T Levels in the 2026 to 2027 academic year, provided they have a 16 to19 funding agreement and receive approval from the awarding organisation(s). Funding will be adjusted to reflect T Level delivery, as part of the 2026 to 2027 academic year in-year reconciliation process in Spring 2027. This is subject to institutions completing their ILR and Census returns accurately and on time.  

If you do not have a 16 to 19 funding agreement/contract, but have previously delivered 16 to 19 provision and temporarily paused, you may still be able to deliver T Levels, please contact us via Home  - Customer Help Portal. If you have not previously delivered 16 to 19 provision, please refer to 16 to 19 education (non-apprenticeship): market entry - GOV.UK.  

There will be no T Level registration process for institutions planning to introduce T Levels from academic year 2027 to 2028, this aligns with changes to the T Level funding methodology from 2027. From this year forward, we will base your funding allocations solely on student numbers from the start of the previous academic year as returned in your ILR (R04) or School census (Autumn on roll pupils) data return - regardless of whether T Level students are in their first or second year of delivery. We will maintain an in-year reconciliation process to account for over- or under-delivery. We will communicate further details regarding the funding approach for that year at a later date. 

Please contact the relevant awarding organisation for information on the approval process.
