Two Providers Barred From Delivering T Levels in 2020

DfE have removed two providers from the list of providers who will deliver the first, T Levels from 2020.

“We have removed two providers from our list of high-quality providers who will deliver the first, gold standard T Levels from 2020. We always expected the list of providers to fluctuate as we progress towards September 2020.

“However, we continue to have an excellent group with good coverage of provider types and across our Opportunity Areas.. From the start we set out that we will have a phased approach to the introduction of T Levels.

“This approach will make sure the delivery of T Levels is high quality and will grow in a managed way so that young people across the country can benefit from these transformational reforms.” – A DfE spokesperson said.

Big Creative Training have been removed because the Digital pathway available in 2020 does not fit with the specialist nature of their current provision

London Design and Engineering University Technical College have been removed due to a requires improvement Ofsted rating.
