T Levels are new two-year, Level 3 study programmes that will follow the study of GCSEs and Technical Awards at Key Stage 4 and offer an attractive alternative to A Levels and Apprenticeships. T Levels will combine classroom theory, practical learning and a minimum 315 hours of industry placement with an employer to make sure students have real experience of the workplace.
The Technical Qualification (TQ) is the main classroom-based element of the T Level and students will learn from a curriculum that has been shaped by industry experts. During the two-year programme, students will learn the core knowledge that underpins each industry, and they will develop occupationally specific skills that will allow them to enter skilled employment within a specific occupation. The T Level programmes have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work. They provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door to highly skilled employment, an Apprenticeship or higher-level study, including university.
The T Level Technical Qualification in Accounting has two mandatory components.
This component covers the underpinning knowledge, concepts and skills that support threshold competence in the accountancy industry. It has 500 GLH and is assessed by two-externally set Core Examinations and an Employer Set Project. The content and detail of each of these assessments are provided in Section 3 Core Component.
There is one Occupational Specialist Component in this Technical Qualification, which is 600 GLH. Students undertaking the T Level Technical Qualification in Accounting will complete the Assistant Accountant occupational specialism. This component covers the occupational specialist knowledge and skills required to demonstrate threshold competence for the specialism. The occupational specialism is assessed by a skills-related project that synoptically assesses the performance outcome skills and associated underpinning knowledge.
