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.

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 to four full days at College covering practical, theory and research on given topics. Students will 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.
Year 1:
- Core Assessment: Externally Set Test – Paper 1 and Paper 2 are both graded A*-E.
- Employer Set Project: Externally assessed project work is graded A*-E.

Year 2:

- University to study from a wide range of construction and built environment disciplines.
The overall qualification is graded on the scale of Unclassified, Pass, Merit, Distinction and Distinction*. UCAS points are allocated to overall T Level grades with D* achieving 168 points which is the same as three A* grades at A Level.
You will need a minimum of four GCSEs at grades 4 - 9 (A - C) to enrol onto this course, including English, maths and a science.
