This T Level course is a practical, work-focused alternative to A Levels, providing new opportunities for employment or further education in the health sector. Over two years, you’ll gain a blend of core and specialist knowledge, supported by extensive work experience to develop your skills and confidence. High standards of attire are expected, including a set college uniform, and essential textbooks will be available to support your learning.
You’ll need to show competence in both practical skills and theoretical knowledge, which means either working or being on a practical placement throughout the course. A clear Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is also required.
The course begins with core learning, covering topics such as:
-
Working within the health and science sector
-
Health, safety, and environmental regulations
-
Managing information and personal data
-
Good scientific and clinical practice
-
Providing person-centred care
-
Health and wellbeing
-
Safeguarding
-
Infection prevention and control in health-specific settings
Assessment of this core knowledge will be through an Employer Set Project and an externally marked exam.
In the second year, you’ll focus on specialist areas and show your competence in key performance outcomes, including:
-
Assisting with an individual’s overall care and needs to ensure comfort and wellbeing
-
Supporting health professionals with clinical or therapeutic tasks
-
Undertaking a range of physiological measurements
You’ll then have the opportunity to specialise in one of the following areas:
-
Mental Health
-
Midwifery
-
Adult Nursing
You’ll complete a significant number of hours in health placements with up to two employers. Your progress will be assessed through observations, and you’ll need to achieve good progress against set targets.
This T Level course provides a comprehensive preparation for entering the healthcare field, whether you’re looking to go straight into employment or continue your studies in higher education.
