These are advanced (Level 3) technical qualifications, built in collaboration with employers and professional bodies. They are for learners aged over 16 who wish to progress into a specific sector through apprenticeships, further study or employment.
Our Tech-level qualifications are included in the Department for Education (DfE)'s performance tables for technical and vocational qualifications aimed at students aged 16 to 19. They also attract UCAS tariff points.
