Understanding T Levels

Our popular Understanding T Levels courses (UTL) are tailored to different roles, and provide an initial introduction for all those planning, delivering or supporting T Levels. They include learning activities, formative assessment tools, and support. 

UTL is a mixture of online on demand and live online/face-to-face courses. We recommend you complete the online on demand course first at a time that suits you. This will ensure you are prepared for the live online/face-to-face course and will help you get the most from your CPD activity. 

To access these UTL courses, please sign up or log in to the Professional Development Platform.
