V Levels

1. We are proposing V Levels will be 360 guided learning hours (GLH) to enable students to combine them with other V Levels and A levels. Where larger subjects are needed, we propose that these are offered through T Levels.
2. Are there any particular issues for subjects or students that we need to be aware of as a result of not having medium sized V Levels?
3. Which subjects do you think are most appropriate for delivery through V Levels?
4. How could current information, advice and guidance be improved or what new guidelines or measures should be developed to ensure that students are informed about V Level subject selection and combinations?
