Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students (a) undertook a T-level transition course and (b) started a T-level course after completing transition course in (i) 2021-22 and (ii) 2022-23.

In 2021/22, there were approximately 3,350 students on T Level Transition Programmes across the four available T Level routes. In 2022/23, there were approximately 5,600 students on T Level Transition Programmes across the eleven available T Level routes.

The department will publish progression data on the 2021/22 cohort in due course. Progression data on the 2022/23 cohort is not yet available.

The department strengthened the programme from September 2022 so that as many young people as possible can benefit from T Levels. The programme will be renamed to the T Level Foundation Year, in order to send a stronger signal that it is the first year of a three year journey to a T Level qualification.
