NCFE spearheaded the development of the technical qualifications that sit at the centre of the following 3 health and science T Levels:
Launched in September 2021, health and science T levels are a high-quality, work-focused alternative to A Levels for young people once they’ve completed their GCSEs.
We worked with over 133 leading health and science sector bodies, employers, expert practitioners and training providers to develop the technical qualifications that underpin the health and science T Levels.
This substantial collaboration enabled us to ensure these technical qualifications reflect the needs of the health and science sector and specialist occupations they serve – in turn supporting students’ preparation for work or further study in the sector.
We understand that T Levels are entirely new qualifications, and we’ve developed a wide range of materials and activities to support you in delivering these transformative programmes.
Our offer includes:
Every NCFE T Level provider is assigned a dedicated account specialist to support you throughout your T Level journey. This single point of contact means the answer to any T Level query is never more than a phone call or email away.
These Level 3 technical qualifications provide learners with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to progress into skilled employment or higher-level technical training or study in the health and science sector. The core knowledge and understanding are assessed through an examination and core skills through a practical employer-set project. In addition to this, maths, English, and general digital skills will be integrated within the qualification in occupationally relevant contexts.
The core content for the 3 T Levels will cover the following areas:
