At York College we have over 80 Vocational & T Level programmes on offer. These cover a range of vocational, professional and technical routes, so there is something to suit all aspirations and interests, and with programmes from Entry Level to Level 3, we have the right course for you, whatever your starting point. You'll find more information about Vocational courses and T Levels, as well as studying at York College, in our FAQs section.
Vocational & T Level options
Our Vocational & T Level courses offer something to suit all interests and levels of ability. If you enjoy a more practical hands-on approach to studying which is primarily coursework focused, a vocational programme could be the perfect fit for you.
Taking a T Level course will help you to build the knowledge and experience you need, to get the job you want, through a balance of classroom-based theory and an 315 hour industry work placement.
Find more information in the Vocational & T Level section within each of our curriculum areas.

What our students say
"I think the placement element of a T Level massively helps in terms of getting a job from it. I did mine with John Sisk & Son and was offered a degree apprenticeship, which means I will carry on working with them, while doing Civil Engineering at Teesside University.
"I might not have struggled to get a job necessarily if I’d gone down another route, but it would have been a lot harder, because doing a T Level means a company gets to know your personality, sees what you can do and gives you the chance to build relationships."
