Delivered over two years, T Levels aim to provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door to highly skilled employment, higher level studies or a Higher Apprenticeship.
The equivalent of three A Levels, T-Levels are recognised by UCAS to support applications to study at university. Please note that you must be aged 16 - 18 years old when you start a T Level qualification.
Year 1 is made up of three key parts: 1. Core: Knowledge and understanding of contexts, concepts and theories of the construction industry:
2. Employer Set Project: A project set by construction leaders that requires you to apply your knowledge to a real-life problem in the industry. 3. Industry Placement: Towards the end of the year, you will get the opportunity to put the knowledge and skills you have learned in to action as you start your industry placement. You will work with an external construction industry employer to apply your knowledge and develop your technical skills in a real-life construction workplace. Year 2 is made up of two key parts: 1. You will specialise in Electrotechnical Engineering; Studying and practicing this branch of the construction industry will help you to develop specialist knowledge and skills on how to install, commission and maintain electrical and electronic systems. 2. Continuation of your Industry Placement; with an external construction industry employer which will develop your technical skills and apply your knowledge in a workplace environment. Across year one and two, you will complete at least 45 days in total working in the construction industry, giving you valuable experience in the workplace and employers the chance to see the new talent in their industry. |
You will need to come to College equipped with stationery, steel toe capped boots and a hi-vis vest or jacket.

Your week will consist of three full days at College covering practical, theory and research on given topics. You will also need to complete work outside of given College days to complete assignments and work experience.
Similar to A-Levels, the grade you gain from a T-Level is based on your work in school. This makes up 80% of the T-Level and comprises a core component and an occupational specialism. You get a grade of Pass, Merit, Distinction, or Distinction* overall. You get separate grades in each component. The 20% is covered by extended industry placement.
