A healthy option for those who wish to pursue a career in Health and Social Care.

At Runshaw College we are aware of the skills gap in health care and believe the T Level Health will support students in gaining the skills, knowledge and behaviours required for a career in health. The qualification is the equivalent of 3 A Levels.
