T Level Technical Qualification (TQ) outcomes



This interactive visualisation shows the outcomes for the core and occupational specialism components of the Technical Qualification that makes up part of T Levels.


The TQ is part of an overall T Level programme. As Ofqual only regulates the TQ, this visualisation does not include outcomes for the overall T Level. For overall T Level outcomes, please see the T Level results published by the Department for Education.

The TQ is made up of two components that are graded separately. There is no overall TQ grade. The core component assesses the underpinning knowledge and understanding relevant across the T Level. The occupational specialism component assesses the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve threshold competence in a given occupation. There may be more than one occupational specialism component in a TQ. The core component is graded A* to E. The occupational specialism component(s) are graded Pass, Merit, Distinction.

The TQ outcomes shown in this visualisation are for students expected to complete their T level programme in the specified completion year.

The results are likely to vary over time due to changes in the cohorts of students taking T Levels and new T Level routes and pathways being introduced. It is therefore not meaningful to directly compare results between years.

This interactive visualisation allows you to explore grades awarded for the components of different TQ pathways. The components are graded separately - there is no overall grade for the TQ.

The bar charts show the percentage and number of students achieving each grade for the core and occupational specialism.

The pie chart shows the proportion of students passing both the core component and the occupational specialism component compared with those passing either or neither component.

You can use the menu to change the data shown and to switch between viewing the data as a chart or a table.

Ofqual only regulates the TQ, which comprises the core and occupational specialism components of an overall T Level. For overall T Level results, see the T Level results published by the Department for Education. T Levels have been introduced in waves, with certification in the first wave of T Levels available from summer 2022.

This data includes students of all ages from schools and colleges in England who were expected to complete their T Level programme in a particular year. T Levels typically take two years to complete with students usually taking the core component in the first year of the course and the occupational specialism in the second year of the course.

Data is only shown for those students who have completed both components of the TQ and therefore have (or previously have had) a grade awarded for both the core component and for the occupational specialism. For students taking a component more than once, their best result is shown.

Schools and colleges in England are included.

Core assessments are available in 2 exam series each year – the summer and autumn series. In summer 2021, core results were based on Teacher Assessment Grades (TAGs). From autumn 2021 onwards, core results have been based on formal assessments. This means that the profile of core results for students who completed their T Levels in 2022 is likely to look different from subsequent years in some subjects.

The occupational specialism assessments are available in the summer exam series each year. Occupational specialism assessments were first available in summer 2022, so all results have always been based on formal assessments.

Non-cumulative percentages for each grade show the actual percentage of students achieving a particular grade.

Cumulative percentages are the percentage of students achieving that grade and all the grades above it.

Data is sent to Ofqual by awarding organisations prior to results day.

The results issued on results days may be subsequently changed, for example following a review or appeal initiated by the student or their school or college.

The data presented here is for TQs, which are one part of the overall T Level. T Level results are published by the Department for Education.

This data may differ slightly from figures published by the Department for Education for a number of reasons, including differences in data processing and rounding, as well as the specific subpopulation of students considered. This visualisation only considers those students who have completed both the core and occupational specialism. There may also be slight differences in the timing of when data was collected from awarding organisations.

To ensure confidentiality of the data, numbers have been rounded to the nearest 5. If the value is less than 5 (1 to 4), it is represented as 'Fewer than 5', and 0 represents zero values.

Total values are calculated using unrounded figures. As a result, the sum of rounded figures may slightly differ from the total reported.

Percentages have been calculated based on rounded numbers and may not add up to exactly 100%.

We are publishing this data so that students, schools, policy makers and the public can easily access and explore information on qualifications and outcomes.
