Education and Childcare T Levels

T Levels for

In our Industry Excellence Academy you can study one of the new Education and Early Year T Level qualifications or Transition Programmes. They have been developed in collaboration with employers, and combine theory, practical and classroom learning with a minimum 59-day industry placement. If you opt to take a T Level, you will spend 20% of your time on an industry placement and 80% in the classroom.

Whilst studying you will nurture and develop skills that will set you up for a rewarding career helping young people to achieve their potential. If you want to make a difference by working in early years development, childcare or education then join us at The Manchester College.
