Our T Level in Children’s Nursing is an exciting qualification that gives you the knowledge, skills, and experience to begin your journey towards a rewarding career supporting children and young people’s health and wellbeing.
For 80% of the T level, you learn core scientific concepts and key regulations in the classroom. With this knowledge, you’ll start a 45-day placement in your chosen pathway. You’ll work on an employer-set project, allowing you to explore your career as an adult healthcare assistant.
You’ll also engage in activities that build your personal skills, like character and confidence. This will support you in living well and advancing in your chosen career.
You learn how the industry works and explore various healthcare roles. You also discover the diverse employers and organizations you could join. Your friendly tutors introduce you to the contexts, theories, and principles essential to health and science.
By the end of year one, you will understand core scientific concepts and key regulations. This includes managing information, health and safety, and good scientific and clinical practices.
When year two arrives, you dive into supporting children and young people. With your classmates, you explore what this support means. You learn how to assist the team and see how carers meet the needs of children and young people.
You also learn clinical tasks. This includes moving or handling children, taking measurements, collecting specimens, applying simple dressings, and assessing skin conditions.
Day-to-day support for children and young people is part of the course. You build a toolkit to help individuals manage their nutrition, hygiene, health, and wellbeing.
In the second year, you take an industry placement and work on a project set by your employer. This is your chance to apply your knowledge in a real-life setting and experience working in health with a children and young people’s team.
To improve your English, maths, and digital skills for health and science, you work with tutors. You'll achieve the essential level 2 in English and maths needed to complete the course.
To be accepted onto the Health and Science T Level, you must be aged 16–18 on 31 August in the year you start the course and have five GCSEs at grade 4 or higher, including maths, English, and double science.
- Annual Tuition fee: £0
There are no tuition fees for T Levels if you start before age 19. However, you will need to cover material costs at the start of the course.
To work with children and vulnerable adults, an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required. This check costs £44.
This program is professional, so all students must wear a uniform. This uniform must be worn in college and during placements. The uniform includes a medical tunic (available from the college for £17.99*), black trousers (not leggings), and black shoes. If you qualify for our learner support fund, you won’t have to pay for your uniform; it will be provided to you.
For more details on uniform requirements, contact the workplace coordinator or program lead.
*Prices are correct as of December 2025 but may change.
With your T level in healthcare and science under your belt, you are ready to start your career in healthcare or take a higher-level apprenticeship or a degree.
We have independent careers advisors to walk you through your next steps, sharing information, advice, and guidance to give you the confidence to kickstart your career.
Apply online via the College website. You will need details of your qualifications and a personal statement to complete your application. Once your application has been successfully processed, you will be sent a conditional offer and be invited to an interview at the College to meet key staff, learn more about your chosen course of study, and tour the facilities. You will then need to confirm your acceptance of the course offered to you.
