We are excited to introduce our T Level range of courses into our wide variety of qualifications on offer at Sparsholt & Andover Campuses.
NATIONALLY RECOGNISED
When you complete your T Level you will gain a nationally recognised certificate which shows your overall grade. You will also receive an overview of the work you have completed during your T Level as evidence to help with future employment.
Sparsholt College Group have undertaken a multi-million-pound investment across both Sparsholt and Andover campuses to support its delivery of our new T Level qualifications, and are continuing to expand and develop new buildings and equipment to ensure students have access to modern and in-date teaching and resources that meet with current and future industry standards.
T Levels are two-year courses which have been developed in collaboration with employers and providers to meet the needs of their industry and to prepare students for work. When taking a T Level qualification you will have the opportunity to see what a career is like in your chosen industry and gain experience that will look good on your CV or UCAS application and put you ahead of your peers.
T Levels also carry UCAS points, meaning that if you finish your qualification with a grade Distinction*, it is worth the same as 3 A levels at A*.
