Course Overview

The Supporting Care of Children and Young People T Level is an exciting new way to enable you to study both the relevant academic knowledge and the importance of the practical and relevant work placement. Covering different theoretical and practical aspects of the care of child and young adults, this course is an excellent starting point. T Levels are based on the same standards as apprenticeships, designed by employers and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. We expect the total time for a T Level to be around 1,800 hours over the 2 years, including the industry placement. The T Level course includes compulsory elements and the technical qualification will include core theory, concepts and skills for the industry area and specialist skills and knowledge for an occupation within the care and young adult services, including industry placement with an employer.
