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 will really miss my college days and from the beginning the tutor, Al, has been so supportive. From someone who has not completed anything academic in over 20 years, this course was a step in the right direction for me. I have learnt so much from the group of people, different organisations, but mostly from Al who has a wealth of HR knowledge. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Al and she will always go out of her way to support and guide you in the right direction". Kelly Gidley – Temporary Staffing Team Manager, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust
