Levels in the Maps
Occupations can be put into a hierarchy but this may have little to do with educational levels. We have tried to capture this by using three bands for the occupations.
Technical
Occupations
Higher Technical Occupations
Professional
These are the skilled occupations that a college leaver or an apprentice would be entering. They will typically require qualifications at levels 2/3
These occupations require a more knowledge and skills acquired through experience in the workplace, further technical education, or a higher apprenticeships. These occupations typically require qualifications at levels 4/5
These occupations are outside of the remit of technical education. But they are included on the map to show degree apprenticeships and potential progression from higher technical occupations.
Levels 6+

Sainsbury Panel vision (for the phase):
“It is vital that technical education qualifications and our certification system signal to employers what an individual is able to do…
As well as standards which reflect the needs of industry, we need an efficient and effective mechanism for developing qualifications for college-based technical education which meet these standards.”

10. Academic & T Level structure
Study-based
* Where a student does both, the traineeship will follow the transition year. Students doing both the transition year and a traineeship may progress directly to employment.
** Some students will move directly from A levels and/or applied general qualifications to degree and higher apprenticeships.
