T Level in Electro Technical Engineering
Course Overview
Are you 16–18 and thinking about a career in building services, like electrical systems in homes, schools, or offices? This T Level in Electro-Technical Engineering could be the perfect first step.
This course is made for young people who want to work in the Building Services Engineering (BSE) industry. It gives you a strong understanding of how the industry works and teaches you the practical skills you’ll need to start your career.
By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to take your first steps into the workplace or continue training to become fully qualified in your chosen area of building services.
You’ll build what’s called “threshold competence” – that means you’ll be ready to join the industry and continue learning and growing in a real job with the right support.
Units on the course include:
Building Services Engineering Core
This part of the courses focuses on the knowledge and understanding of contexts, concepts, theories and principles relevant to onsite construction and Building Services Engineering (BSE). It is designed to raise students’ awareness of the industries and develop knowledge and understanding of:
• Fundamental Health and Safety practices associated with carrying out construction and BSE work
• Scientific principles related to construction activities
• The construction industry and careers within it
• Principles of sustainability and design, relevant to construction projects
• Information, data and principles of measurements
• Tools, equipment and materials used in BSE work
• Legislation, regulations and approved standards that apply to BSE systems.
Electrotechnical Engineering Specialism
This part of the course will allow students to dive deeper into the electrical side of things. Students will have the opportunity to plan, perform and evaluate their work while using a range of materials, methods and techniques as well as develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in:
• Health and safety practices associated with carrying out electrotechnical systems engineering
• Installation methods and termination of connections
• Systems and products used in electrotechnical engineering
• Analysing and using information to and from electrotechnical systems
• Removal processes as part of system decommissioning
To study the course, you will need at least 5 GCSEs at grades 9-5 including maths and English.
If you do not meet the entry requirements for the course, you could look at our other options in engineering and construction with the aim to progress on to the T Level the following year.
Assessment will be:
- Two externally set exams covering knowledge from the building services engineering core
- One employer-set project covering knowledge and skills from the building services engineering core
- Electrotechnical Engineering specific practical assessments
This qualification focuses on the development of knowledge and skills needed for working in the BSE industry, which will prepare learners to enter the industry through employment or as an apprentice. Furthermore, the completion of this qualification gives the learner the opportunity to progress onto higher education courses and training.
