What are T-levels and what are the grades worth?

T-levels are a new two-year qualification for students aged 16-19 in the UK that are equivalent to A-levels and are designed to provide technical knowledge and skills needed for specific industries.

There are 3 grades that can be achieved in T-levels:

1. Pass
2. Merit
3. Distinction

A Pass grade is roughly equivalent to a C grade at A-level, a Merit is similar to a B grade, and a Distinction is equivalent to an A grade.

These grades are assessed through a combination of exams, practical assessments, and workplace placements, with a focus on real-world skills and knowledge.
