<p>T Levels are being rolled out in a phased approach to ensure high quality. The
number of providers will increase year on year and the department expects student
numbers to grow significantly over the next few years.</p><p>In September 2022, over
2,000 students started a T Level in Education and Childcare, and while the majority
are expected to study the Early Years occupational specialism, students do not need
to make their final decision until the end of their first year of learning.</p><p>These
students will move into their second year of learning in September, when the department
also expects providers to enrol significantly more new students onto the Education
T Level. Providers have set their own expectations for students they hope to recruit
to each of their T Levels and are in the process of marketing their courses and interviewing
and providing information, advice and guidance to students on the options available
to them. The department will not have any information on new students until after
the point they are enrolled.</p><p>T Levels are equivalent in size to 3 A levels and
are designed to support progression to skilled employment, further study (including
higher education and Higher Technical Qualifications) and degree apprenticeships.</p><p>
