Pathways are made up of courses focused on future careers or further education opportunities
Our lecturers have professional experience and use industry-standard medical and care equipment. This allows students to understand its practical applications within the workplace.
When completing a Health and Social Care qualification, you should be aware that you will need to complete a number of hours in industry placements.
Working in the care sector is demanding and fast-paced, meaning that employers will be looking for workers who have a wealth of experience in many different healthcare settings.
Our dedicated Industry Liaison Officers are there to help you find placements and develop your employability skills within the sector.
We are currently offering a T Level in Health with the option to specialise in adult nursing, care of children and young people or mental health.
T Levels are a Level 3 qualification designed to give you a head start toward the future you want.
They follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels.
The 2-year T Level qualification brings classroom and work placements together on a course designed with employers and businesses.
You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement to give you the skills and knowledge employers are looking for.
Your T Level will help you to step straight into your chosen career, an apprenticeship or a degree
Our Health T Level students train in our three state-of-the-art medical simulation suites.
