Health T Level

This new qualification is your route to a rewarding career in the health sector. It is a high standard, equivalent to A Levels, and includes an extended work placement.

Course Summary

T Level programmes are designed to provide progression routes into skilled and technical employment, higher or degree apprenticeships, or university.

They will offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during a 45-day industry placement that will give students practical insights into the sector and an opportunity to embed the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.

You will spend 70-80% of your time in the classroom and 20-30% on a high-quality work placement with an employer.

Your industrial placement enables you to experience the real working environment. As you are carrying out duties and having responsibilities of a real job, you will work realistic shift patterns and you will wear a full uniform.

You will be fully inducted into the organisation and will have up to 20 hours of employability skills training at college before you commence your placements to make sure you are fully prepared.

In your placement, you are likely to work in a range of specialist departments, gaining an insight into the roles and responsibilities of staff who work in these areas.
These specialist departments could include:

  • Audiology
  • Dementia Care
  • Sickle Cell Care
  • Pharmacy
  • Infection Control
  • Wound Care

Alongside your classroom and lab work, your work placement will also enable you to:

  • have up to date core and applied knowledge
  • experienced simulated ward learning
  • built confidence through class demonstrations, presentations and care home volunteering
  • develop communication and interpersonal skills

Five GCSEs including English grade 5, Science grade 5 (biology preferred if individual Science GCSE), Maths grade 4 and 2 other subjects at grade 4*. Students on this course will need to show commitment to the values of the health care sector. Once you have applied we will be in touch to arrange an interview.

*The College reserves the right to ask for a school reference if required.

On successful completion of the course you will have the skills and qualifications to seek employment in the care industry, or to progress to a degree-level course or higher apprenticeship.

Roles you could go on to directly with this qualification include Health Assistant, Healthcare or Community Health worker, Dental Nurse and Ambulance Support Worker. You can also progress onto more advanced qualifications and workplace training.
