T Level Examiner- Legal

What are T Levels? T Levels are new courses coming in September 2020, which will follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses, so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work. T Levels will offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 45 days. They will provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door into skilled employment, further study or a higher apprenticeship. The Role The T Level Examiner role is an excellent opportunity to earn some extra money in a contract role, alongside any full-time commitments you may have, whilst also developing your career in education.
