ABOUT THE COURSE

T Levels are a two-year qualification, equivalent to three A-levels, and are designed by employers and businesses to ensure students are learning industry-specific content and up-to-date industry standards to prepare them to work in the healthcare sector or progress onto higher education.

For 80% of the T Level you will be learning in a classroom or simulated setting, and 20% will be learning through your industry placement. The industry placement will be in a healthcare setting, and you will have to complete a minimum of 45 days. Embedded within the T-level will be students learning English, Math and Digital skills, weekly tutorials, and 2 hours of Education Enhancement Program where students will learn contextualised English/Math and Digital skills.
