V Levels
What are V Levels?
From September 2027, students in England will be able to choose V Levels, a new vocational qualification that combines practical learning with knowledge linked to real career sectors. Each V Level will be equivalent in size to one A Level.
Who are they for?
V Levels may suit you if you:
- Enjoy learning through projects and practical activities.
- Want a vocational option but aren't ready to specialise in one career.
- Would like a programme that includes a mix of vocational and academic learning.
- Want to keep options open for university or an apprenticeship.
What subjects will be available first?
The first V Levels are planned in:
- Digital
- Education and Early Years
- Finance and Accounting
More subjects are expected to be introduced over time.
