Education and Childcare T-Level

The Education T-Level will develop your knowledge and understanding in a range of core elements that will underpin your learning in Early Years Education. You will be given a context to the industry, learn the key concepts and theories in education, learning and teaching, and develop the skills you need to do the job.

There will be two papers that assess your knowledge and understanding across the 12 elements. The employer set project, set by CACHE, will be taken under controlled supervision and will give you the option to choose from three scenarios.

Minimum five grade 4-9 at GCSE or successful completion of the Level 2 course, and English and maths at grade 4. A clear DBS check will be required.

Once you have finished the course, you may decide to go into employment, apply for university, or start an apprenticeship. Employment is a natural progression from the course as you will be fully equipped with the knowledge and skills in this particular area. You may decide that you'd like to start an apprenticeship. Depending on your chosen employer and level of the apprenticeship, you might be able to start a higher apprenticeship at Level 4 and study to degree level. If you'd like to carry on studying, then you will be able to apply to university. Your T-Level qualification will give you the equivalent grades as 3 A-Levels, which means you will have enough UCAS points to join courses such as Teaching, Childcare, or Child Psychology.
