Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction - Construction and the Built Environment T Level
Is this course for me?
So what are T Levels? They are high quality work focused alternatives to A levels. There is academic study, coupled with practical, industry related skills and 45 days of industry placement built into the course. If wish to work in the construction sector, with a focus on Surveying and Design, Civil Engineering, Building Services Design, or Hazardous Materials Surveying the T Level is for you. It is suited to those who prefer a practical approach to learning yet want a predominantly classroom-based course. T Levels are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other vocational & technical courses. Equivalent to 3 A Levels, a T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help you into skilled employment, university study or apprenticeships.
The North-West Construction & Technology Excellence College (CTEC) at Wigan & Leigh College provides high-quality training for careers in construction. It was created in response to the need for around 40,000 new workers to fill construction jobs across the UK.
Construction is a modern industry with a wide range of opportunities. It combines technology, creativity, and practical skills, including digital design, 3D modelling, and more sustainable methods of building.
CTEC courses are developed with employers, ensuring you gain the skills companies are actively looking for. You'll build real experience and develop the knowledge employers value, helping you stand out when applying for apprenticeships or jobs.
You will carry out a work placement of 45 days over the two-year programme - this will form 20 per cent of your time on the course. The rest of the time will be spent in College. You will gain first-hand experience of working at national, international or local architectural, civil and building services engineering industries such as JLP Surveys, BCEGI, Cundalls, Galliford Try, Network Rail and William Hare.
Through continual assessment using practicalobservations, written assignments, exams and an employer set project.
Full Time for two academic years.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs graded 9-4 including maths, English & science
