T Level Technical Qualification in Health and Science: Science:T Level Technical Qualification in Health and Science: Science [Qual No]Qualification SpecificationSection 1: IntroductionAnything highlighted yellow is still to be confirmed (TBC).A T Level1 is a composite technical study programme, aimed at preparing young people for work, higher levelapprenticeships or higher education (HE). It comprises 5 key components: an approved technical qualification, which includes the opportunity to specialise in at least one occupationalrole a substantial industry placement with an external employer (further information regarding the required numberof hours can be found on page 10) English, mathematics and digital requirements; students will have to achieve a minimum of level 2 English andmathematics in order to achieve a T Level employability, enrichment and pastoral (EEP) elements in some cases, it may also include mandatory additional requirements (MAR), such as important licence topractise qualifications the T Level Technical Qualification in Health and Science: Science forms part of the new T Level in health andscience. The outline content has been produced by T Level panels based on the same standards as thoseused for apprenticeships. The outline content formed the basis of this qualification and has been furtherdeveloped by NCFE CACHEThe Technical Qualification (TQ) in Health and Science: Science has 2 components: core component:oroute core elementsopathway core elementsoccupational specialism components:otechnical: laboratory sciencesotechnical: food sciencesotechnical: metrology sciencesThe core, comprising route and pathway core components, provides a variety of knowledge and skills relevant tothe health and science route as a whole, as well as the occupational specialism components within the sciencepathway. Some of the core topics and ideas are broken down and contextualised in more detail within theoccupational specialisms, allowing students to apply the knowledge and skills in their own specific context.Each occupational specialism component covers the knowledge, understanding, skills and behaviours required toachieve threshold competence in a chosen occupational specialism. Threshold competence refers to the level ofcompetence deemed by employers as sufficient to secure employment in roles relevant to an occupational1T Level is a registered trade mark of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical EducationVersion: v3.3 October 2020 Sample for submission5 of 223

In order to demonstrate threshold competence in their chosen occupational specialism, thestudent will be observed during their industry placement.It is the provider’s responsibility to ensure the minimum number of hours is undertaken by the student.There may be specific requirements for providers and employers to consider prior to the student commencing awork placement. Please see the industry placement guidance from the Institute for Apprenticeships and TechnicalEducation at (tbc).There are specific requirements for providers and employers relating to the insurance of students in the workplace.Further information about insurance can be found at www.abi.org.uk or www.hse.gov.uk/youngpeople/index.htm.Rules of combinationStudents are required to complete: the core component one occupational specialism componentStudents must not complete more than one occupational specialism component.Approved providers can select which occupational specialism component to deliver to their students.GradingComponentGradeCore componentA* to E and UOccupational specialism componentsDistinction/merit/pass and ungradedAssessment methodCore component 2 written examinations employer-set project (ESP)In order to achieve a grade for the core component, the student must attempt both of the external examinationsand the ESP.

This is a new 16 to 19 study programme designed to give young people effective,tailored preparation specifically to help them progress onto and succeed in a T Level.The T Level transition programme will be introduced through phased implementation, working initially with a smallnumber of volunteer T Level schools, colleges and training companies, to explore different approaches to deliveryand develop good practice in effectively preparing students for a T Level. More information on the T Level transitionprogramme can be found on the government’s website.Achieving this qualificationTo achieve this qualification, the student must successfully demonstrate their achievement of the core componentand one occupational specialism component.To achieve a grade for the core component, the student must attempt both of the external examinations and theESP. The combined marks from these assessments will be aggregated to form the overall core component grade(A* to E and U). If students do not attempt one of the assessments, or fail to reach the minimum standard across allassessments, they will receive a U grade.The student is required to successfully achieve a distinction/merit/pass grade in one of the occupational specialismcomponents. If the student fails to reach the specified level of attainment, they will receive a U grade.RetakesCore component retakesThere is the opportunity for students to retake the core assessments in order to improve their marks. This includes: written examinations ESPThe core component’s written examination is made up of 2 parts. If the student wants to retake the writtenexamination assessment, they must retake both papers, in the same series, as achievement on individual paperscannot be combined across different series.There is no limit to the number of retakes a student can complete.When determining each student’s overall achievement for the core component, the highest achievement in eachcore assessment (written examination and ESP) is used.Occupational specialism component retakesAlthough retakes are permitted for the occupational specialism, it is
