Summary
The technical qualification (TQ) forms part of the new T Level study programme. T Levels are two-year high-quality technical courses, designed with employers, to give young people the skills that industries need, and for them to thrive in the workplace.
The purpose of the level 3 technical qualification is to ensure students have the knowledge and skills needed to progress into skilled employment or higher level technical training relevant to the T Level. The T Level Health (Supporting the Adult Nursing Team) is suitable for post-16 students looking to develop both knowledge and practical skills in the health sector.
