At Cadbury Sixth Form College, we hold our students to high standards, academically and beyond. T Levels are one of today’s most dynamic post-16 options. Let’s examine the facts and clear up the most common misconceptions.
- Myth: T Levels restrict options
Reality: Far from it. With subjects across digital, business, childcare, health, marketing and more, T Levels open doors to a variety of career paths.
- Myth: They are just vocational A Levels
Reality: T Levels blend academic study with practical experience. With 80% classroom learning and 20% professional placement, you’ll leave Cadbury with the confidence to thrive in higher study or employment.
- Myth: They only lead to Apprenticeships
Reality: T Levels are equivalent to three A Levels and carry full UCAS points. A Distinction* can be worth the same as three A*s, so university is absolutely an option, as well as apprenticeships or work.
- Myth: They lack academic recognition
Reality: Universities and employers alike recognise T Levels as rigorous qualifications that build both knowledge and professional competence.
- Myth: They’re easier than A Levels
Reality: They’re anything but. T Levels demand focus, commitment, and a professional mindset, combining exams, coursework, and industry projects to push you to excel.
At Cadbury Sixth Form College, we celebrate ambition in every student. T Levels offer a flexible, high-value route into higher education or the workplace, and we’ll support you to succeed, whichever path you choose. If T Levels are the right path for you, find out more here.
