Approval window opens soon!
From 24 February, you’ll be able to request approval to deliver additional T Levels from September 2025. This applies to the following T Level Technical Qualifications:
- 603/5829/4 T Level Technical Qualification in Education and Early Years (Level 3) (delivered by NCFE)
- 603/7066/X T Level Technical Qualification in Health (Level 3) (delivered by NCFE)
- 603/7083/X T Level Technical Qualification in Healthcare Science (Level 3) (delivered by NCFE)
- 603/6989/9 T Level Technical Qualification in Science (Level 3) (delivered by NCFE)
Once the approval window opens, you must complete the approval process to deliver the technical qualifications as soon as possible. This will help us to ensure that you have the right level of resources, staffing and support in place to successfully deliver the qualifications from September 2025.
Please note that if you’re already approved to deliver other NCFE qualifications, you must still gain additional approval to deliver T Levels. This process only applies if you’d like to deliver T Levels that you’re not currently delivering.
