Who is it for?
The T Level Foundation Programme provides a high-quality route onto T Levels for students who would benefit from the additional study time and preparation that it will give them before they start their T Level. Our T Level Foundation Programme is a one-year course designed to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours to support progression onto, and success on, a T Level.

Entry Requirements
You will need a minimum of 3 GCSEs at Grade 3 or above, preferably including maths or English.

What does the course involve?
There is a T Level Foundation Programme to prepare you for each T Level subject area. You’ll learn about the different T Levels within this subject area and their career opportunities, so that you can decide on the correct T Level for you. T Levels have a broad range of potential progression outcomes.
The college will be offering a Foundation Programme to allow students to move onto the following T Levels:
• T Level in Education and Childcare: Assisting Teaching
• T Level in Education and Childcare: Early Years Educator -
How is the course assessed?
A wide range of assessment methods will be used throughout your programme, including presentations, group work, assignments, observation of activity, scenario projects, and external assessments which will develop your confidence for the success on T-Levels.

Additional Notes
Upon the successful competition of the Foundation Programme for your preferred T Level route, you would then be expected to go onto study the T Level route of your choice.
After T Levels, you could progress straight into a skilled job or continue your studies via an apprenticeship or higher technical qualification.

Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning
Previous school: The Priory School
I am studying this course as I would like to progress onto the Level 2 Early Years Practitioner course in September. I am enjoying the placement side of the course, as I attend a primary school once a week, which I am finding beneficial. Meeting new people and building new relationships is improving my confidence, as well as building on my skills and knowledge.
