T Level Technical Qualification in Construction

T Levels are a Level 3 study programmes that will follow the study of GCSEs and Technical Awards at Key Stage 4 and offer an attractive alternative to A Levels and Apprenticeships.

T Levels will combine classroom theory, practical learning and a minimum 315 hours of industry placement with an employer to make sure students have real experience of the workplace.

The Outline Content for the T Level Technical Qualification in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction has been produced by T Level panels of employers, professional bodies and Providers, based on the same standards as those used for Apprenticeships.
During the two-year programme, you will learn the core knowledge and experience that underpins Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction and you will also develop occupationally specific skills that will allow you to enter skilled employment within a specific occupation, an Apprenticeship or higher-level study, including university with a focus on design and surveying.

1. Core Component:

This component covers the underpinning knowledge, concepts and skills that support threshold competence in the Construction industry. Assessed by two externally set Core Examinations and an Employer Set Project.
