Sourianna finds ‘great balance’ on T Level course

Why the T Level at Leicester College?
Sourianna said: “I had heard about the T Levels at Leicester College through social media. I had done the previous level 2 course, so a lot of the lecturers were encouraging me to work forward and go on to do the T Level course.
“I chose to do a T Level over other options because it offers you work experience and it’s the equivalent of 3 A Levels. I thought it was very beneficial to me and my future, so I had chosen it for that reason.”
One step closer to your dream career with T Levels
“I picked this course because I really wanted to work with children and have that experience with them, working in a setting as well as experiencing different skills and learning a lot more on the theory side of it.
“I love working with children as I find it so rewarding to see them reach their milestones, see them progress. It’s such a great thing to witness and know that you’re supporting them. I’ve just always enjoyed being in their company and I want to make sure that they have the childhood they deserve and for them to progress as much as possible.”
Working whilst learning with T Levels
“I did my work experience at a primary school for two years. They knew me very well so it was great. It was very easy for me to find a placement as I lived locally and as they knew me very well, they were very keen on getting me to work with them.”
T Levels offer a perfect balance
“The balance of the course being a blend of theory and practical work is very convenient and suited me well. I would say it was a great balance as I had two days at placement and three days at college, so I could progress in my theory and in my practical skills at the same time.”
Gaining skills for life with T Levels
“The main practical skills I have developed whilst being on the course are problem solving. I am able to know how to solve any issues that would go on at placement and know how to deal with certain situations following policies and procedures.
