Course Overview
“Do you want to be part of one of the most important journeys in life—the arrival of a new baby? The T Level in Health with a specialism in Midwifery gives you the chance to play a vital role in supporting mothers, babies, and families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
The Midwifery pathway focuses on the knowledge and skills you’ll need to work alongside midwives and healthcare professionals. You’ll learn how to deliver compassionate, person-centred care, support women through the maternal journey, and care for newborns in those precious early days. You’ll also explore safeguarding, health promotion, and the importance of communication when working with families at such a significant stage of life. Practical training is at the heart of this specialism—you’ll build hands-on skills that prepare you for real healthcare environments.
Alongside this, the core modules provide a strong foundation in healthcare. You’ll cover anatomy and physiology, microbiology, infection control, clinical practice, health and safety, and the structure of the health sector. This mix of science and professional skills ensures you’re ready for the demands of working in healthcare.
One of the highlights of the course is the industry placement—at least 315 hours in real health settings—where you’ll put your skills into practice and gain the experience employers and universities are looking for.
Equivalent to three A Levels, this T Level opens doors to university routes into midwifery, nursing, and other healthcare careers, as well as higher-level apprenticeships.
If you’re ready to support mothers and babies and be part of life’s most incredible journey, this is the perfect place to start.”
