New resources
We launched new resources for Generation 2 of the Education and Early Years T Level on Wednesday 12 November. This release includes two comprehensive session packs to support effective delivery of:
Element 2: Supporting education
2.1 The roles and functions of regulators within the education landscape
Resources are available from the qualification page on our website.
For more information on the resources, coverage, and pricing, please refer to the resources factsheet.
Please note that the Generation 2 Education and Early Years T Level is a new qualification, not an update to the previous version. Because of this, the resources developed to support the new T Level are also new. This means that access to these resources is not included in previous purchases made for the Generation 1 Education and Early Years. If you’re delivering the Generation 2 Education and Early Years T Level, you may wish to purchase the new resources separately.
The new Generation 2 materials will be offered on a modular basis so that you can select the elements that best meet your delivery needs. Purchasing is optional, and you’re not required to buy the new resources in order to deliver the qualification
Please remember that alongside the new resources, you continue to have access to a wide range of free support which can be found on our events webpages.
Why are resources not released ahead of year one delivery?
We’re working hard to get resources to you as soon as possible. To ensure the highest quality, each resource goes through a thorough development and review process before publication, including robust quality assurance checks to confirm accuracy and relevance. Releasing resources in phases allows us to share batches as soon as they’re ready. We appreciate this may mean some resources arrive during your first year of delivery, but they’re designed to strengthen and support your existing delivery. We encourage you to use our schemes of work to support planning, and to refer to the qualification specification to ensure all mandatory content is covered.

Education and Early Years: which specification to deliver
We know that many of you will now be delivering the new Education and Early Years T Level (Generation 2) to new starters from September 2025, while also continuing to deliver the original T Level (Generation 1) for students already in their second year. To support you, we want to make sure it is clear which specification applies to which group of students.
Students who started before September 2025
- These students are registered on the original Education and Early Years T Level qualification (first introduced in 2020).
- They must continue on this original specification (Generation 1) for their second year and complete their course and any retakes against the qualification they started on, Education and Early Years T Level (603/5829/4). Access the Generation 1 qualification specification.
Students who started in September 2025
- New year one students should start on the new qualification (Generation 2), Education and Early Years T Level (610/5748/4). Access the Generation 2 qualification specification.
Students must remain on the same specification they were originally registered on to ensure their teaching, learning and assessment all match the correct qualification requirements.
If you would like support with planning your delivery, please contact us to arrange a curriculum consultation with our Provider Development team.
