General guidance for T-Levels

T Levels are new 2-year courses which are taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to 3 A Levels. These courses were launched in September 2020, with the first Students attaining them returned in the 22056 Student record.

Where a full T-Level has been achieved (QUALTYPEID TL) then tariff points for a full T_Level can be used (based upon the grade attained), Where the learner has completed EITHER Core + Industry Placement or Specialism plus Industry Placement the weighting for the T-Level subject is used to calculate the tariff points depending upon which component has been achieved.

Exceptional guidance for T-Levels

For the first year of T-Level returns (22056 Student record) tariff points were only calculated for students with an EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID valid entry of 'TL'. The EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entries of 'D*', 'D', 'M', 'P (A*-C)' and 'P (D-E)' were permitted. Providers were advised to re-code EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entries of 'P' to either 'P (A*-C)' or 'P (D-E)' depending on the core competent grade achieved by the student.

T-Level Tariff Points Logic Path

For a T-Level with Grade D*, D or M

If the student has an EntryQualificationAward occurrences which contain an EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID with a valid entry of 'TL' and EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) D*, D or M
THEN
a full T-Level has been awarded, located the record in the T-Level Tariff Points table with QUALTYPEID = TL and the corresponding grade to find the tariff points awarded.

For a T-Level with Grade P

If the student has an EntryQualificationAward occurrences which contain an EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID with a valid entry of 'TL' and an EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) of P
AND
An EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID with a valid entry of 'TM' (core component) with a corresponding EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) of A*, A, B, C, D or E
THEN
a full T-Level has been awarded, located the record in the T-Level Tariff Points table with QUALTYPEID of TM and the corresponding grade and Weighting of 100 to find the tariff points awarded.

For a T-Level with Grade PA

If the student has an EntryQualificationAward occurrences which contain an EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID with a valid entry of 'TL' and EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) of PA (partial award)
AND
An EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID valid entry of '42' (industry placement component) with a EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) of 'P'
AND
A further EntryQualificationAward occurrence containing an EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID valid entry of 'TM' OR 'TN'
THEN
A partial T-Level has been awarded.

1. For the EntryQualificationAward.QUALTYPEID valid entry TM / TN find the associate EntryQualificationSubject.SUBJECTID subject valid entry
2. Locate the record in the T_Level Subject to Qualification Weighting table with the QUALTYPEID of TM or TN as applicable and the associated SUBJECTID and note the associated weighting
3. Located the record in the T-Level Tariff Points table with QUALTYPEID of TM or TN as appropriate, with corresponding EntryQualificationAward.ENTRYQUALAWARDRESULT valid entry (grade) and the weighting identified in the step above to find the tariff points awarded.
