T Level Capital Funding (TLCF) is designed to support further education providers in delivering high-quality T Level qualifications across England. T Levels are technical-based courses equivalent to three A Levels, offering students a direct route into skilled employment, apprenticeships, or higher education.
To ensure providers have world class teaching facilities to deliver these qualifications effectively, the Department for Education (DfE) offers capital funding through two primary routes: the Buildings and Facilities Improvement Grant (BFIG) and the Specialist Equipment Allocation (SEA). BFIG supports the development, renovation, or expansion of teaching spaces, while SEA provides funding for industry-standard equipment required for T Level delivery.
T Level Capital Funding plays a crucial role in helping education institutions meet the rigorous demands of technical education, ensuring students gain hands-on experience in environments that reflect real-world workplaces.
The Buildings and Facilities Improvement Grant (BFIG) is available to education providers looking to improve or expand their facilities to support the delivery of T Levels. To be eligible for funding, applicants must meet the following criteria:
