T Levels June 2024 update
Welcome to June's T Level update.
Are you missing out on these updates? Make sure you receive the latest news and updates about T Levels directly to your inbox by signing up.
The approval window for Providers commencing delivery in September 2024 closes on 30 June. You must gain approval for each Technical Qualification you wish to deliver.
Please watch our provider approval video before starting your application process.
You can find support documents and approval forms on our training and admin support page.
If you have any questions about provider approval, please contact us via the Pearson support portal.
As part of our responsibility for delivering the Technical Qualification, we issue results for the Core component (the Core exams and Employer Set Project) and the Occupational Specialism.
We will send component results to exams officers’ Edexcel Online mailboxes on 14 August 2024. These will consist of Statements of Results (one PDF per student) and a broadsheet of results for all students at the centre across all Technical Qualification components. The release of these component results to students is embargoed until 15 August 2024.
Pearson will transfer all component results to the DfE, who are responsible for:
- aggregating and issuing the overall T Level result via their Manage T-Level Results Service, including results from the two Technical Qualification components and the completion of the industry placement
- issuing T Level certificates and statements of achievement
- reporting T Level grades to UCAS.
For more information on these areas, explore the DfE’s T Levels support for schools and colleges or contact DfE directly.
If you have queries specifically relating to the Manage T Level Results Service, please contact tlevel.resultsandcertification@education.gov.uk.
The 2024 specification is now available on the website, applicable to learners starting in the 2024/25 academic year.

We continue to collaborate with the Gatsby Foundation on new resources for our T Levels. They are creating a mix of digital resources such as video and more conventional worksheets for three core topics, which we hope will be available soon: Maths, Modern Methods of Construction, and Law.
Remember, CITB offers grants to employers who take on T Level students in industry placements. Please share this with your employers and encourage them to apply.
