T Level - Civil Engineering

T Level - Civil Engineering

Our T Level Civil Engineering course offers students vocational skills including construction project management, maths, quantity surveying, structural design and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships. Each T Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Students get valuable experience in the workplace; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry. T Level students spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action.

• Overview

  What will I learn?

  T Levels are a fresh and exciting alternative to A levels as they offer a work focussed experience which combines academic study of the highest quality with practical industry related skills. In addition to this, T Levels include a mandatory 45-industry placement that has been built into the course to further develop individual skills. If you wish to work in the construction sector with a focus on Civil Engineering, then this T Level is for you. This course is best suited to students who prefer a practical approach to learning yet want a largely classroom-based course. The T Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels and focuses on vocational skills that can help you obtain skilled employment, university study or an apprenticeship.

• Entry Requirements

  Minimum requirements: Grade 5 GCSE in Science and Maths, and Grade 4 in English and two other GCSEs.

• How will I be assessed?

  Students will be assessed through observations, written assignments, and employer set project (1st year) and exams and an occupational specialist project (2nd year).

  The T Level certificate will include:

  • an overall grade for the T Level, shown as pass, merit, distinction or distinction*
  • a separate grade for the core component, using A* to E
  • a separate grade for the occupational specialism (Civil Engineering), shown as pass, merit or distinction

• Progression Pathway

  This course is suitable for anyone wanting a career in civil engineering. Students can progress onto roles such as civil engineering technician, CAD technician, consulting civil engineer and design engineering, or progression into university. Students studying engineering based subjects at Runshaw College have progressed onto university to study a wide range of courses, including Engineering, Robotics and Architecture to name a few, or into careers with a variety of companies, including Rolls Royce, BAE Systems and Cadent Gas.

• Teaching & Assessment

  Students will be assessed through a continual assessment using practical observations, written assignments, exams and an employer set project. The T Level certificate will include:

  • An overall grade for the T Level, shown as pass, merit, distinction or distinction*
  • A separate grade for the core component, using A* to E
  • A separate grade for the occupational specialism (Civil Engineering), shown as pass, merit or distinction
