Early data suggests that the number of T Level student enrolments for 2020 was around 1,300 – and for 2021 around 5,450. These figures were published in the 2020 and 2021 T Level Action Plans, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-action-plan.

The number of 2020 T Level starts in England were included in the 16-18 participation statistical data release in June 2021. T Level student numbers by institution will be published alongside T Level results. This is to match the approach we take with other qualifications such as BTECs or A levels. There is information on the funding provided to each institution for T Levels which includes the student numbers that this is based on, but these are predicted not actual student numbers. This is published as part of allocations data which is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2020-to-2021-academic-year.

We do not yet have the official data for 2021 T Level student enrolments. We are looking at what other data we might publish, as an addendum to the 2021 T Level Action Plan, in spring 2022.
