This course will enable you to gain the skills and knowledge that will give you access to numerous exciting opportunities within the health sector.

Designed by employers, T-Levels combine practical and theoretical learning experiences, with real-life industry experience. A T-Level pathway can also support progression on to university, into employment or on to a higher/degree apprenticeship.

The course combines classroom based theory with an extensive work placement element that will support you to make well informed choices about your future career aspirations.

You will learn how to undertake a variety of clinical tasks including physiological measurements and how to interpret the results. You will practice these skills working alongside professionals on your work placement.
