ABOUT T-LEVELS
T-Levels are new courses that follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels. They’ve been co-created by the industry you want to be a part of, so you can gain the knowledge and skills you need to leap ahead of the crowd and into your desired career.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The core element of a T Level in Education and Childcare will boost your knowledge in a range of topics such as child development, safeguarding and special educational needs; as well as your understanding of the role of families and support agencies. You’ll also dive into the specifics of social interaction, behaviour, and how language is acquired, as well as build your skills in becoming a reflective practitioner.
You’ll then undertake an Early Years Education specialist area, which has been designed to support your interests, so you can get deeper into your chosen subject and build up the skills you need for your future job.
Then you’ll be able to put everything you learn into practice, with a substantial industry placement of 750 hours. Giving you an amazing opportunity to work with an employer while you study, such as a school or nursery, and gain invaluable experience as well as key skills that employers are looking for.
WHERE COULD THE COURSE TAKE ME?
On completion of this T Level, you could progress straight into a skilled profession or continue your studies at University or higher apprenticeship. Career opportunities may include; Early Years Educator, Learning support assistant, Teaching, Play therapy and many more.
