The colleges to take part in the first round of the phased implementation of the T-levels “transitional” course have been named.

The programme, recommended by Lord Sainsbury in his technical education report in July 2016, will be for 16-year-olds to take if they are not ready to start a T-level at level three, but can “realistically achieve it” by age 19.

It is being developed by the Association of Colleges, following a secretive tender earlier this year.

Thirty seven providers will pilot the course next year.

Timescales for developing and testing it will be tight, as there is just over a year to go until the first three T-levels, in digital, education and construction, are delivered.
