What Will I Learn On This Course?
Course Snapshot
The T Level Building Services Engineering 8710 is delivered through a combination of classroom learning, practical training, and industry experience over a two-year period.
Students first complete the core component, which provides broad knowledge of the building services engineering and construction sector. This includes topics such as health and safety, construction science principles, sustainability, and the fundamentals of building systems. The core component is assessed through externally set knowledge tests and an employer-set project.
Learners then progress to occupational specialisms, where they develop more focused technical skills in specific areas such as electrotechnical engineering, gas engineering, or electrical and electronic equipment engineering. These specialisms are practically focused and externally moderated to ensure industry standards are met.
A key part of the course is a minimum 315-hour industry placement, where learners gain real workplace experience with employers in the construction or building services engineering sector. This practical placement helps students apply their knowledge in real working environments and prepares them for employment or apprenticeships.
Requirement
To enrol in the T Level Building Services Engineering 8710, learners are typically expected to have completed their secondary education and achieved a suitable standard in core subjects. Most training providers require a minimum of GCSEs in Maths and English, usually at grade 4 (or equivalent), as these subjects are essential for understanding technical calculations and communication within the construction and engineering industry.
Applicants should also demonstrate an interest in construction, engineering, or building services systems, along with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Some providers may conduct an interview or initial assessment to ensure the course is suitable for the learner’s skills and career goals.
As the qualification includes a significant industry placement, learners must also be willing to participate in practical work environments and follow workplace health and safety standards.
