Building Services Engineering for Construction: Electrotechnical Engineering - T Level

Summary

This course is designed for practically-minded students who have an eye for detail and are interested in electrical aspects of the construction industry.

From design principles to health and safety, this T Level will arm you with all the necessary knowledge to start a successful career in the trade. In fact, with a T level qualification under your belt, you can fast track to an apprenticeship and become a qualified electrician in just two years.

Combing study with the opportunity to practise in our top-class facilities and the chance to work with an employer for at least 9 weeks means you’ll have a head start when it comes to looking for job opportunities.

What's more, if you decide to pursue a higher qualification like our HNCs in Quantity Surveying or Site Management, a T Level will give you the opportunity to acquire the necessary UCAS points to access these and other degree-level programmes.
