Explore this SectorFollowing an announcement on Wednesday 15 August from the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE), we want to provide you with an update on the future of our role concerning Digital T Levels and what this means for you and your students. After careful consideration, we’ve taken the decision to step back as the awarding organisation for the Digital T Level pathways. Read more.
About this qualification
The technical qualification (TQ) forms part of the new T Level study programme.
The purpose of the level 3 technical qualification is to ensure students have the knowledge and skills needed to progress into skilled employment or higher level technical training relevant to the T Level.
UCAS Points
The T Level study programme is eligible for UCAS points. Please check the UCAS website for more information.
Performance Points
The TQ is eligible for performance points.
Who is it suitable for?
This qualification is suitable for post-16 students looking to develop both knowledge and practical skills in the digital sector.
This technical qualification will support students onto a range of progression routes including employment, higher education and higher apprenticeships.
What are the entry requirements?
This qualification is designed for post-16 students.
There are no specific prior skills/knowledge that a student must have for this qualification. However, students may find it helpful if they have already studied at level 2.
How is this qualification structured?
The technical qualification is split into 2 component parts:
Core component: the knowledge and underpinning concepts, theories and principles as well as core skills for the digital sector.
Occupational specialisms:
- Digital Infrastructure
- Network Cabling
- Digital Support
- Cyber Security
Students will only complete one occupational specialism.
The occupational specialisms provide students with knowledge and skills required to enter employment or further study in the specific occupational area.
How is it assessed?
Core component:
- paper A written examination
- paper B written examination
- employer set project
In order to achieve a grade for core component, students must have results for both sub-components (the core (written) examination and the employer set project).
The combined results from these sub-components will be aggregated to form the overall core component grade (A*–E and U).
If students fail to reach the minimum standard across all sub-components, they will receive a U grade. No overall grade will be issued for the core component until both sub-components have been attempted.
Occupational specialism component:
- synoptic assignments
The student is also required to successfully achieve a distinction/merit/pass grade in one of the occupational specialism components. If the student fails to reach the specified level of attainment, they will receive a U grade.
What related qualifications can you progress to?
Students who achieve this qualification could progress to the following, depending on their chosen occupational specialism:
- employment
- higher education
- apprenticeship
