Welcome to the online resources for the T Level Professional Development (TLPD) offer delivered by the Education and Training Foundation. The offer is intended to support the professional development needs of staff in those providers soon to be delivering T Levels. 

The TLPD offer will support teachers, trainers and a range of other roles, as well as creating the conditions for leaders and managers to increase understanding of T Levels across the workforce and lead effective change management.   We are currently developing new and updated resources in this area, as well as face-to-face provision and support, which will become available throughout 2020. To receive updates, sign up to the TLPD email bulletin via www.etfoundation.co.uk/tlevel-bulletin.  

Some of this online support is also relevant to technical/vocational teaching more generally, such as Apprenticeships training.
