Building services engineers and construction experts have joined forces to create the Construction: Building Services Engineering T level. This is an important move towards developing a task force that meets industry needs. In two years, you build a solid understanding of design principles, the role of technology and sustainability and how the construction industry works. From here, you launch into your career, workplace ready. To prepare for your mission, 80% of the course is at college, where you get to grips with the theories of construction, design and engineering. You balance your classroom learning with in-depth practical tasks in our purpose-built workshops. There’s also your 45-day electrotechnical engineering industry placement when you enhance your skills and understanding by getting hands on. If you are not quite ready for a T level but want to get on the path to your chosen career, then a transition programme could be for you. This will give you the chance to improve your maths and English (and any other subjects and areas that you need to improve) to move on to a T level the following year.
T levels are for people who are 16-18 on 31 August on the date that they start the course. Standard entry to this course requires one reference. You should demonstrate a minimum of 90% attendance at your last place of work or study. A GCSE in both English and maths at grade 4 or above or Functional Skills in both English and maths at Level 2, plus a minimum of two other GCSEs at grade 4 or above including science and a design technology based related subject. All students will undertake a probationary period for the first six weeks of their programme. During this time, attendance, attitude, attainment and application towards study will be monitored. A final decision as to the most appropriate level of study and the outcome will be discussed with you towards the end of your probationary period. You will need: GCSE in both English and maths, grade 3 or above, plus a further two GCSEs at grade 3 or above, one of which must include a science or technical based subject. Students previously studying at the college will need to have attained a Level 1 Diploma in Electrical, plus English and maths at grade 3 or equivalent Functional Skills.
You will be assessed via a variety of formal methods during your course plus assessments such as external exams, controlled assessments, an employer-led set project, and summarising your learning through practical assignments. This will generate an overall grade of pass, merit, distinction, or distinction*. You will be awarded a nationally recognised certificate which will show a breakdown of what you have achieved and can be worth up to 168 UCAS points.
