Application forms
To apply for approval to deliver T Level Qualifications from September 2023, you will be required to download the relevant forms via the link below.
- If you are not currently an approved T Level Provider with City & Guilds, you will need to use the TL-A1 form to obtain full Provider approval.
- If you already have full Provider approval, you will need to use the TL-A2 extension form to apply for additional T Level qualifications.
- If you applied to deliver T Level Qualifications from September 2021 and have deferred delivery continuously since this time, you would be required to complete the full Provider approval process again by using the TL-A1 form.

Within this link, you will also find the TL-DS form. This is a template for all delivery staff which will allow them to add employment history and any relevant qualifications and CPD. This form can be used as an alternative to a CV.
Approval support webinars
Our Quality team hosted two approval support webinars earlier this year. These webinars were to help providers prepare for their T Level application, and gain insight into the process. You can find links to the recordings, slides and FAQs from each session below.
Please note, each webinar covered distinct aspects of the approval process, so if you’re intending to apply to deliver T Levels from September 2023, we recommend watching both.

Comparison of monitoring
AOs have different processes in place to monitor delivery of T Level Technical Qualifications. The purpose of all monitoring activities is the same, however they may be carried out in slightly different ways.

Self-assessment
At the start of each academic year, providers delivering T Level Technical Qualifications (TQs) are required to complete a self-assessment.
This is part of the annual provider review carried out by the Quality team, is mandatory and must be completed and returned to City & Guilds by the last working day of October.
Only one self-assessment form is required per provider.

Moderation portal
The Moderation Portal is the online administration platform used to facilitate the submission of marks and evidence and the moderation of the Occupational Specialism for T Level qualifications.
Submitting evidence to Moderation Portal may take a significant amount of time depending on the number of users, network speeds, file sizes and number of learners you are uploading evidence for. Therefore, we strongly advise centres to prepare and upload evidence in advance of the submission deadlines wherever possible.
Take me to the Moderation Portal
The Moderation Portal centre user guide can be downloaded below, which explains the full process for centres, including information on how to manage Moderation Portal centre user accounts, how to enter marks/grades, and how to upload evidence.
