T Level in Education and Childcare - Early Years Educator (T3EEUF)

GCSE English grade 4 and GCSE Maths grade 3

A T Level 1 is a Level 3 composite technical study programme, aimed at preparing young people for work, higher-level apprenticeships or higher education.

It comprises four key components:

• An approved technical qualification (TQ), which includes the opportunity to specialise in at least one occupational role
  
• A substantial industry placement with an external employer (further information regarding the required number of hours can be found in the 'Where next - Job Opportunities' section.)
  
• Employability, enrichment and pastoral (EEP) elements
  
• In some cases, mandatory additional requirements (MAR), such as important licences to practise qualifications.

• Topic-based test
  
• Revision
  
• Active learning
  
• Reflect on placement experience
  
• Keep a journal during your industry placement.
  
• Link theory to practice (e.g. how behaviour strategies work in real settings).

Assessment is the process of measuring a student’s skill, knowledge and understanding against the standards set in a qualification.

The core component is 100% externally assessed. External assessments are set and marked by NCFE. The core examination and ESP will assess students’ core knowledge, core understanding and core skills relevant to the occupations within the Education and Early Years TQ.

The OS components are also externally assessed through synoptic assignments, except for the observation element, which is internally marked by providers and externally moderated by NCFE. These synoptic assignments will assess the knowledge, understanding, skills and behaviours required to achieve threshold competence in the student’s chosen OS.

Providers must not give any feedback to the student about their performance in any of the assignments with the exception of the EYE assignment 1 part 1 competency observations, whereby an assessor may offer feedback and guidance using the feedback form provided.

The T Level study programme is eligible for UCAS points. Please check the UCAS website for more information.
