Education & Childcare (Teaching) T Level

T Levels are designed to produce learners with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to progress into skilled employment or further study. They combine core knowledge and skills needed to work in your chosen industry sector with a technical qualification, and a substantial work placement of at least 315 hours.

NCFE is a leading sector specialist in the early years and this course ensures you can develop into a high-quality, skilled practitioner that the early years sector demands. The aim is to develop the threshold competence of learners in key aspects of early years practice.

The course has a number of core units including;
– Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
– Supporting education
– Safeguarding
– English as an Additional Language (EAL)

As well as the core units, you will complete an employer-set project to complement the theory and practical aspects of the qualification.

You will study Teaching as your occupational specialism.

An essential component of this qualification is the substantial work placement in a relevant setting – a minimum of 315 hours. This is completed in conjunction with your theory assessments and will ensure that at the end of the course, you will have the skills needed by employers in this sector or the qualifications to enable you to progress on to university.

If you want a career working within the education sector, for example in teaching, this would be the course for you.
