<h2>T-Level in Education and Childcare</h2><p>The T Level is a technical qualification that combines classroom study and a work placement. Over the 2 years students will complete 315 hours in a work placement alongside their studies.</p>

<p>During the 2-year programme, students will learn the core knowledge and skills that are needed for entry to a range of education and childcare occupations.</p>

<p>All students will develop an understanding of:</p>

<ul>
 <li>understanding the education and childcare sector from ages 0 to 19</li>
 <li>child development</li>
 <li>how to support children and young people&rsquo;s education</li>
 <li>safeguarding, health and safety and wellbeing</li>
 <li>understanding and managing behaviour</li>
 <li>observing and assessing children and young people</li>
 <li>equality and diversity</li>
 <li>special educational needs and disability&bull;English as an additional language</li>
 <li>working with parents, carers and wider families</li>
 <li>working with agencies and services that support children, families and carers</li>
 <li>reflective practice and other forms of professional development</li>
</ul><h3>Assessment</h3><p>QUALIFICATIONS THAT COUNT</p>

<p>When you pass your T Level, you will get a nationally recognised certificate showing the overall grade you achieved - pass, merit, distinction or distinction*. It will also give details of what you learned on the course to help you move into skilled employment or a higher apprenticeship.</p>

<p>AWARDED UCAS POINTS</p>

<p>Your T Level will be worth UCAS points &ndash; a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A levels at A* &ndash; and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.</p>

<p>LEARN YOUR WAY</p>

<p>T Levels involve more classroom study than apprenticeships, which means you can experience an industry while you continue your studies.</p>

<p>Like A levels, there are no tuition fees to study a T Level if you start before you are 19.</p><h3>Where can it lead?</h3><p>This course is suitable for anyone wanting a career in early years education, childcare or assisting teaching.</p>

<p>Students can also use this T Level to do a related higher-level apprenticeship or degree course</p>
