Education and Early Years T Level Early Years Educator
T Levels are a 2-year qualification that you can do after your GCSEs as an alternative to A-levels, other post-16 courses or an apprenticeship. They have been designed with leading businesses and employers to give you the knowledge and skills you need.
Your T Level will be worth UCAS points (a T Level Distinction* is worth the same as 3 A-levels at A*) and will be recognised by universities and other education providers so you can choose to continue studying if you wish.
Whether you want to work with children as a fully qualified Early Years Practitioner in an early years setting, progress to university to train to be a Primary School teacher or onto another field within the sector this is the right choice for you.
You will be taught by industry experts who, through their extensive research and practical experience, bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the Education and Childcare course.
This qualification has been designed with employers and businesses and is structured to allow you to spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement.
You will have the opportunity to work with children across a variety of ages and stages of development, linked to your occupational specialism.
This ensures you gain the breadth of practice and experience to successfully apply your knowledge and expand your skillset. You will attend placement for two days a week and this could be in Primary Schools, Nurseries, Pre-Schools, Childminders and schools for children with additional needs.
This course carries Licence to Practice, which means you will be qualified at Level 3 to work unsupervised with children under 5 years at the end of your T-Level.

College Governance
Legal Status
Cornwall College is a further education corporation. Further education corporations were incorporated by Parliament under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (FHEA), as such their powers are limited to those set out in this act as amended by the Learning and Skills Act 2000, the Further Education and Training Act 2007, the Apprenticeship, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 and the Education Act 2011.
The FHEA also states that further education corporations are exempt charities. This means that corporations are required to demonstrate compliance with charity law but the majority of the regulatory provisions of the Charities Act 2011 do not apply.
Further Education Corporations are regulated by an array of bodies but their main regulator is the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) which is the principal funder for most colleges.
The key governing documents for further education corporations are:
The Instrument and Articles of Government which prescribes the membership of the governing body and sets out rules for external and internal conduct.
The Financial Memorandum with the ESFA which sets out the conditions of funding.
The Post-16 Audit Code of Practice which sets out the mandatory audit requirements for further education colleges
Board of Governors
The Cornwall College Board of Governors comprises twenty governors including the Principal and Chief Executive, student and staff members. Governors are collectively responsible for determining the strategic direction of the College and oversight of its activities as well as ensuring the effective and efficient use of resources, the solvency of the institution and safeguarding its assets.
The Governors of Cornwall College come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of skills, knowledge and experiences. Governors are unpaid and act in a voluntary capacity. They are required to act in the best interests of the College and to comply with a code of conduct.
Governors are required to declare any interests, financial or personal, which could be perceived as influencing their judgement. Governors’ completed declarations of interest are available to inspect along with the code of conduct at the College on request to the Clerk to the Governors.
