Bidding open to deliver education and childcare T-Level

Careers & Training T-Levels
The tender process to develop and deliver the Education and Childcare T-Level has been launched by the Department for Education.

Awarding bodies can bid for an ‘exclusive license’ to develop, deliver and award each of the first three T-Levels – Education and Childcare, Construction and Digital.

Just one awarding body for each T-Level subject will win the contract to develop, deliver and award the new vocational qualifications, an alternative to A-Levels and apprenticeships, from September 2020.

CACHE, the largest early years awarding body, is expected to put in a bid to run the Education and Childcare T-Level, as are City & Guilds and Pearson.

The winning bidder will further develop the outline content of the two-year, Level 3 vocational qualifications and design exams and assessments, which will be rolled out to the schools and colleges delivering the T-Levels.
