T Level Civil Engineering

T Level Civil Engineering

Our T Level Civil Engineering course offers students vocational skills including construction project management, maths, quantity surveying, structural design and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships. Each T Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Students get valuable experience in the workplace; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry. T Level students spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action.

• Overview

  T Levels are a fresh and exciting alternative to A Levels as they offer a work focussed experience which combines academic study of the highest quality with practical industry related skills. In addition to this, T Levels include a mandatory 45-industry placement that has been built into the course to further develop individual skills. If you wish to work in the construction sector with a focus on Civil Engineering, then this T Level is for you. This course is best suited to students who prefer a practical approach to learning yet want a largely classroom-based course, 5 days a week. The T Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels and focuses on vocational skills that can help you obtain skilled employment, university study or an apprenticeship.
