Building Services Engineering for Construction (Gas) - T Level

A T Level is an exciting new technical qualification which will teach you the knowledge and skills needed to progress into skilled employment or higher-level technical training, such as higher education and higher apprenticeships. The T Level study programme is eligible for UCAS points.

The content for this qualification was devised by T Level panels, which included employers and industry stakeholders. Employers and other stakeholders helped create the assessments and set the standards to ensure you achieve the level of competence needed to enter skilled employment.

The T Level is made up of different components:

• A technical qualification in Building Services Engineering for Construction (Gas) (the core component)
• A technical component in Building Services Engineering for Construction (Gas)
• An Employer Set Project
• A substantial industry placement with an external employer (a minimum of 315 hours)

You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on an industry placement with an employer (equivalent to 45 days) to give you the skills and knowledge companies look for. Your industry placement gives you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you continue your studies. When and how you complete it depends on the T Level, school or college, and employer.

To achieve the T Level, you will need to successfully demonstrate your achievement of each of the components.

• Building Services Engineering for Construction - Gas
• Occupational Specialism - Gas Engineering
• Technical Qualification in Building Services Engineering for Construction
• Industry Placement

Entry requirements for this T Level programme are:

• Overall 5 x GCSEs at Grade 4 and above for all T Levels 
• English & Maths Grade 4 and above

The core component of the study programme is 100% externally assessed through two written examinations and an employer-set project.

The purpose of the employer-set project is to ensure that you have the opportunity to apply core knowledge and skills to develop a substantial piece of work in response to an employer-set brief. The brief and tasks are contextualised around an occupational area and chosen by you.
