Our health, care & science courses
The T-level course is a great stepping stone, if you’re thinking of both health and social care. I find the learning relevant for both pathways. I enjoy the practical learning, especially our sessions in the Health Hub which is like a small simulated hospital ward. You get to learn how to use lots of different equipment, and for instance, how to take someone’s blood pressure or temperature.
