Dear Colleagues

The Dfe have asked us to  share this information with you.

They have launched a £135 million T Levels capital fund to help providers delivering T Levels in September 2022 to fund the building/facilities works and equipment needed to deliver the new qualifications. The closing date for the submission of bids is 26th March 2021 and the published guidance, application form and other information on the fund is available here

They have also announced the approval of £48.5m worth of projects as part of wave 2 capital funding, for providers delivering T Levels from September this year.

In addition, they have published the fourth in a series of annual T Level Action Plans. The 2020 T Level Action Plan provides information on the delivery of the first three T Levels in September 2020, and on our continued work with a range of delivery partners towards the full rollout of T Levels. The main points include:

• The launch of the first three T Levels, including early recruitment information
• Eligibility criteria and how to register for T Level delivery in 2023 and beyond
• Updates on the rollout of T Level routes and pathways
• Support packages available to T Level Providers; and
• Progress with the Level 3 Qualifications Review and Higher Technical Qualifications

Many thanks

On behalf of Di Caesar
