To study a T Level Foundation Programme, students will need a minimum of four GCSEs at Grade 3 including English or Maths at Grade 4 (or Level 2 Functional Skills in English and Maths) OR aspiring professional or relevant Level 1 qualification and English or Maths at Grade 4 or above (or Level 2 Functional Skills in English and Maths).

The course is made up of seven units:

Two units are externally assessed by an online examination and the rest of the units are assessed by a series of assignments. Each unit will be graded as Pass, Merit or Distinction and the overall grade achieved at the end of the qualification will be determined by the individual unit grades. Students are required to complete and pass all components to achieve their qualification.

The prime aim for this course is to enable students to prepare for the T Level in Digital. However it also prepares them for employment in a variety of digital and computing environments. T Levels are equivalent to three A Levels and lead to higher education, higher apprenticeships, or employment and are mapped to the apprenticeships programme.
