Course Content
The T Level Technical Qualification in Construction: Design, Surveying and Planning has two mandatory components:
1. Core Component
This component covers the underpinning knowledge, concepts and skills that support threshold competence in the Construction industry. It has 600 GLH and is assessed by two externally set Core Examinations and an Employer Set Project.
2. Occupational Specialist Components
There are two Occupational Specialist Components in this qualification, each of which has 600 GLH:
1. Surveying and design for construction and the built environment
2. Civil engineering
Students undertaking the T Level Technical Qualification in Construction: Design, Surveying and Planning will be able to choose one of the two Occupational Specialisms to complete as part of their T Level Technical Qualification.
These components cover the occupational specialist knowledge and skills required to demonstrate threshold competence for the specialism. Each Occupational Specialism will be assessed by a skills-related project that synoptically assesses the performance outcome skills and associated underpinning knowledge.
