qualifications

No specific qualifications are needed to become a prison officer in England and Wales.

The military veteran’s qualifications include regularly co-hosting Fox’s annual New Year’s Eve countdown.

When T-levels were introduced by the previous Conservative government in 2020, there were more than 12,000 vocational qualifications, offered by more than 150 awarding bodies.

As part of the introduction of T-levels, funding was set to be withdrawn for some other vocational qualifications, like BTecs, which were deemed to "overlap" with the new T-level programmes.

Retention rates for most A-levels and other equivalent qualifications are consistently above 90%.
