The T Level transition programme has been renamed to encourage more young people to progress to T Levels.
The Department for Education (DfE) will now call the programme the T Level foundation year, though providers are not expected to use the new name until the 2024/25 academic year.
The announcement was made in the department’s response to its consultation on level 2 qualifications that support progression to T Levels.
“We are making this change to strengthen the relationship with T Levels and signal clearly that this is the first step on a three-year path to achieving a T Level, for those students who need to take a foundation year,” the report said.
