Course Summary
T Levels aim to provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door to highly skilled employment, higher level study or a Higher Apprenticeship.
The course is delivered through workshop-based practical sessions, class-based theoretical delivery and work experience placements in your second year.
This qualification will help you gain an understanding of Electrotechnical Engineering within the Building Services industry sector. You'll have access to guest speakers and industry experts, site visits, relevant field trips and industry placements on live sites out in the world of work. There is also an employer set project, which you will complete as part of a team.
In the first year you will focus on the core units covering a broad range of BSE specialisms, In the second year of the course you will focus on your specific occupational specialism. This will enable you to be confident in all elements of electrotechnical engineering. These skills can be applied to a variety of jobs within the industry including electricians and electrical engineers.
