Education and Early Years: Assisting Teaching T Level
This T Level enables a practical route onto a wide range of degrees and courses related to working with children including teaching, social work, or psychology.
As part of this course, you’ll have a placement in a local school that will give you the opportunity to gain real industry experience and skills you’ll only get from being in the classroom environment.
After this two year course, you will have gained practical industry experience, as well as a recognised industry qualification as a Level 3 qualified Teaching Assistant.
T Level qualifications are equivalent to studying 3 A Levels and carries UCAS points, so you could progress to a university degree rather than immediately entering the workforce.

I’ve recently completed my Level 5 HR Consultant Partner Apprenticeship at South Devon College and have enjoyed every minute! South Devon College has provided me with the tools and resources I needed to complete the course. My tutor and colleagues were extremely supportive and created an open environment to encourage participation and the sharing of ideas! Doing an apprenticeship has allowed me to apply knowledge that I’ve learnt during the course into real life situations. The end point assessment project has enabled me to showcase my new skills by designing a solution to a business need. Amy Law – HR Advisor, Core Highways
