Health T Level

The Pearson T Level in Health (Supporting the Adult Nursing Team) is a nationally recognised qualification equivalent to three A Levels. It is ideal for students who are passionate about pursuing a career in healthcare, particularly within adult nursing and related health professions.

This exciting two-year programme combines classroom learning with substantial industry placement experience, enabling you to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the healthcare sector. You'll gain a strong understanding of health and science alongside specialist nursing support skills, preparing you for progression to university, higher apprenticeships or employment within healthcare.

The T Level in Health is delivered by our experienced Health & Social Care team, supported by specialist science staff. Students benefit from modern teaching facilities, including dedicated health classrooms and a specialist clinical skills room designed to replicate professional healthcare environments.

You will have access to a wide range of learning resources throughout the programme, including textbooks, digital materials and industry-relevant equipment. Alongside taught lessons, you will be expected to engage in directed independent study, research and preparation for assessments.
