T Levels will combine classroom theory and practical learning, and are made up of the following:  \n• Technical Qualification: the substantial component of your course.  \n• Industry placement: of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days) with an employer to make sure you have authentic experience of the workplace.  \nThe Technical Qualification is the main classroom-based element of the T Level. During your two-year course, you will learn the core knowledge that underpins the sector, and you will also develop occupationally specific skills that will allow you to enter skilled employment within a specific occupation.  \nThis T Level Technical Qualification has been developed in collaboration with employers, so the content meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work. It will provide the knowledge and experience needed to open the door to skilled employment, an apprenticeship or higher-level study.  \nWhat is the construction industry?  \nThe construction industry is of global importance and worth £90 billion annually in the UK. The impact that the construction industry has on daily life is diverse, from domestic building, maintenance and the provision of key building services, to realising large projects in civil engineering, providing essential public infrastructure in the form of roads, schools and hospitals.  \nAll careers in construction require good communication skills, time management, a strong customer focus and the ability to work both in teams and with other trades. The skills learned can be used as a foundation from which to progress to technician, supervisory or management occupations, where established professional routes and occupational standards exist.  \nWho is this Technical Qualification for?  \nThis Technical Qualification can only be taken as part of a T Level course and is not available as a stand-alone qualification. It is for post-16 students and is ideal if you are intending to progress directly to employment within the construction design, surveying and planning sector in roles such as a Building Services Design Technician, Civil Engineering Technician, or Surveying Technician, as an apprenticeship, or to employment via further studies in construction.  \nWhat does the Technical Qualification cover?  \nThe content is split into a core component that has been created for this T Level Technical Qualification in Design, Surveying, and Planning for Construction and a choice of one of four occupational specialisms. The specialisms are:  \n• Surveying and Design for Construction and the Built Environment  \n• Civil Engineering  \n• Building Services Design  \nThe core component provides a broad understanding of the construction industry and covers the following topics:  \n• Health and safety  \n• Science  \n• Design  \n• Construction and the built environment industry  \n• Sustainability  \n• Measurement  \n• Building technology  \n• Information and data  \n• Relationship management  \n• Digital technology  \n• Project management  \n• Law  \nThe core component will be assessed by two exams and an employer set project.  \nYour choice of occupational specialism will allow you to develop the relevant skills in preparation for your career in the construction sector. The occupational specialism is assessed by a project that is created in conjunction with employers. The content covers topics specific to that aspect of the construction sector, as follows:  \nSurveying and Design for Construction and the Built Environment  \n• Measuring the built environment  \n• Analysing the built environment  \n• Designing the built environment  \n• Verifying the delivery of the built environment  \nCivil Engineering  \n• Analysing civil engineering solutions  \n• Designing civil engineering solutions  \n• Verifying the delivery of civil engineering solutions","cbCaijFPhG0bGBgS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijFPhG0bGBgS","pdf",265632,"English","# Qualification Description\n## Course Structure and Industry Placement\n## Construction Industry and Career Skills\n## Target Learners and Entry Routes\n## What the Technical Qualification Covers\n## Core Component and Topics\n## Occupational Specialisms and Assessment\n## Broader Skills Development\n## Progression Options","[{\"question\":\"How long is the industry placement and what is its purpose?\",\"answer\":\"The course includes an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days) with an employer to provide authentic workplace experience.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessments are used for the core component?\",\"answer\":\"The core component is assessed by two exams and an employer-set project.\"},{\"question\":\"What progression options are available after completing this Technical Qualification?\",\"answer\":\"Progression can include skilled employment, A Level 3 and A Level 4 apprenticeships, A Level 6 degree apprenticeships, and higher-level study paths in construction-related roles.\"}]","T Level Technical Qualification in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction - Overview and Assessment | PDF",1792467517,23]
