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. Nelson and Colne College is in the privileged position to be one of only few colleges to offer the T Level, which is going to be the new gold standard qualification in technical education, and be the pinnacle for those who are more practical. 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 315 hours over two years, as well as English, Mathematics and digital content. The content of the Health T Level is designed to get you ready for a career in the Health sector, one that is identified as having a skills shortage both regionally and nationally.

T Levels will train young people with the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to enter skilled employment in a particular occupation, or to continue to study that technical subject at a higher level.

What will I learn?

The knowledge and skill you will learn include:

• Working in the Health Sector
• Safety and Environmental Regulations Related to Health
• Managing Information and Data within the Health Sector
• Key Scientific and Clinical Practices
• Core Health Science Concepts

There will also be sector specific content around supporting healthcare roles, depending on the specialism chosen, which could include adult nursing, working with children and vulnerable adults and mental health.

How will the course be assessed?

The T Level will be assessed through a range of methods including external exams, coursework and external assessments – including an employer set project.
