How will I learn?
The T-Level program will be taught in a way that immerses you as a worker in the sector. You will learn just as a science worker would, like working in teams and through practical demonstrations of skills. The ways that you showcase your talent will also be much like an actual health environment: with independent work, presentations and written reports.The classroom environment should be one of co-operation; teachers and students working together to get the most out of your qualification.

The T-Level is assessed in a variety of ways all with the needs of employers in mind. Your core component is assessed through two written exams as well as a project that you will complete based on a brief given from employers. Your occupational specialism is assessed through 'synoptic assessment' which is based on you demonstrating skills you've learned.
Any trips?
Trips are to be confirmed at this stage, but trips could involve visiting health settings, or visiting universities to look at their healthcare programmes.
Are there any costs involved?
