The Association of Colleges has been appointed to run the T Level transition framework support programme.

The programme will support T Level providers involved in the phased implementation of the T Level transition framework, running up to first delivery in 2020 and 2021. The AoC will:

• Support advisory panels to contribute to thinking on the content of the transition framework
• Provide support for participating providers to develop, package and deliver their local transition programme
• Encourage and facilitate these providers to explore different approaches to implementing certain elements of the transition programme.

As recommended in the Sainsbury Review of Technical Education, the T Level transition year is intended for students not yet ready to start T Levels at age 16. Schools/colleges must be a T Level provider in 2020 or 2021 in order to offer the transition programme.
