T Level roll out
The Department for Education (DfE) is rolling out the delivery of T Levels over a four-year period; Wave 1 commenced in September 2020, Wave 2 in September 2021, Wave 3 in September 2022 and so on. To deliver T Levels, you must have expressed an interest to the DfE and be selected by them to become an Eligible Provider. Being an Eligible Provider means that you've been selected by the DfE to deliver T Levels commencing in a specific Wave.
Please select from the options below:
You must still become approved by the relevant Awarding Organisation to deliver the Technical Qualification that forms the substantial part of the T Level. You will need to be approved for each Technical Qualification you wish to deliver.
We are unable to offer Auto Approval for our providers offering similar qualifications.
We are unable to provide a fast-track approval option.
As an Awarding Organisation, we have a responsibility to make sure you have everything in place to deliver the Technical Qualification. We also need to make sure you understand our Quality Assurance processes and have the correct policies and processes in place to deliver live assessments and examinations.

You must apply to become an Approved Provider for each Technical Qualification you wish to deliver.
If you are an existing Pearson Vocational Qualification centre, for example, if you deliver BTEC or Functional Skills, then please complete the form linked below:
We are not able to enable auto approval/fast-track approval for the Technical Qualification. Therefore, even if you're delivering a similar vocational subject – you are still required to apply for Provider Approval.
If you are not an existing Pearson Vocational Qualification centre, for example, if you deliver Pearson Edexcel General Qualifications or no Pearson qualification at all, then please complete the form linked below:
If you are new to Pearson, this form is slightly longer – but it combines your Vocational Qualification approval and your Technical Qualification approval in one.
We have produced a guidance document to support completing this application form.
You will also need to complete the Pearson Professional Profile for each member of your delivery staff as a part of your application:

We ask that Providers apply for approval well in advance of their first delivery cohort.
The Provider Approval process takes place between February and June of the academic year before you commence delivery. We will accept approval applications from the last Monday of February, and the cut-off point for applications will be the last Friday of June each year. Therefore, it is really important that we receive your application by this date so that we can process it in time to ensure that you have the right level of resources and staffing in place to successfully deliver the qualifications in the following September.
