Course summary

This course is aimed at students who wish to follow a career working with young children, in nurseries or early years education. T-levels are new, government backed, career focused qualifications for 16- to 19-year-olds. They’re equivalent to three A-levels and are also backed by hundreds of British businesses, who helped to design the courses. Each two-year course has been designed with employers from multiple sectors and combines classroom study with a 45-day industry placement to prepare your child for the world of work, or further study like a higher level apprenticeship or university. All students enrolling on this course will be required to undergo a Disclosure Barring Check before being able to carry out any work experience. All students will develop an understanding of: • the education and childcare sector from ages 0 to 19 • child development • how to support children and young people’s education • safeguarding, health and safety and wellbeing • understanding and managing behaviour • observing and assessing children and young people • equality and diversity • special educational needs and disability • English as an additional language • working with parents, carers and wider families • working with agencies and services that support children, families and carers • reflective practice and other forms of professional development
