Abstract: The aim of the latest Technical Education Learner Survey (TELS) programme of research is to collect robust and representative data from T Level, T Level Foundation Year (TLFY) and post-reform Level 4/5 learners concerning learner characteristics and motivations, learner perceptions of their programme of study, and learner outcomes and destinations. The first wave of interviewing is referred to as the End Course (EC) survey. This is followed by a Post Course (PC) 15 survey which is issued to all those sampled for the EC survey, including non-responders but excluding EC participants who did not agree to be recontacted and those who opted out. This report focusses on the EC survey, carried out between 21st January and 3rd March 2025, and the follow up PC survey, carried out between 17th July and 8th September 2025. The following learner groups were in scope for both surveys: T Level learners (2022 starters), T Level Foundation Year (TLFY) learners (2023 starters), and Level 4/5 learners (2022 and 2023 starters). Findings in this report cover the surveys of all three learner groups, discussed in three separate chapters. The findings for each learner group are considered in terms of differences by route/pathway, gender, ethnicity, age, special educational need, and free school meal status. Differences by other demographic characteristics (such as housing tenure) are described where relevant.
