T Levels Transition Programme
The T Level Transition Programme is a 16-19 study programme specifically designed to develop the skills, experience, knowledge and behaviours to support progression onto a T Level. It is aimed at students who are not ready to start a T Level at 16 but have the potential to progress onto one.
The T Level Transition Programme consists of five components that should be tailored to the needs of the individual student. Pearson provides several qualification suites funded for 16–19-year-olds that meet the requirements for these components, giving you confidence that your students can gain the skills, experience, knowledge and behaviours needed for progression whilst gaining a recognised qualification that is regulated by Ofqual.
