Course Overview
The T Level is a ground-breaking new two-year Level 3 study programme that will offer students a mixture of classroom-based learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience.
A Vocational alternative to A Levels and Apprenticeships, the T Level has been launched as part of the Government’s review of Vocational education, under the Skills Plan. They have been collaboratively developed by the Department for Education (DfE), the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA), education providers and employers.
The T Level includes a core of knowledge and skills needed to work in the sector, a technical qualification, a substantial work placement of at least 45 working days, as well as English, Mathematics and Applied Science content. The content of the Science T Level is designed to get you ready for a career in the Science and Health sector, one that is identified as having a skills shortage.
The T Level is made up of core units and occupational specialist units. The core content will focus on developing the students’ knowledge, concepts, theories and core skills related to working in the health and science sector.
