<p>Vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs) provide an important and valued
route for many young people and adults. We are streamlining and improving the quality
of post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below. Our reforms will put employers at
the heart of the system, ensuring that all qualifications are fit for purpose, high
quality and lead to good outcomes. We are creating clearly defined academic and technical
routes at level 3, leading to future study and or skilled employment.</p><p>As set
out in our level 3 consultation response published in July 2021, students will continue
to be able to study qualifications similar to current Applied General qualifications
where there is no overlap with T Levels. On 11 May we published a provisional list
of 160 qualifications that overlap with the first two waves of T Levels. These qualifications
will have funding approval withdrawn for anyone eligible to access the qualification
through the 16-19 funding offer on 1 August 2024, unless awarding organisations successfully
appeal their qualifications’ inclusion. The final list will be published in September
2022.</p>
