Building Services Engineering Electrical – Electrotechnical T Level - City of Wolverhampton College

Building Services Engineering Electrical – Electrotechnical T Level

If you want to work in the construction industry with a special interest in electrotechnical engineering, this new T Level qualification is the ideal way to kick off your future career.

T Levels are designed in conjunction with employers so you can be sure that you will be learning the skills that the industry needs which will set you ahead of the competition when you're applying for jobs in the sector in the future.

In the first year of the course you will cover a range of core modules designed to give you a broad range of knowledge and skills in the building service engineering industry.

In the second year you will focus on occupational specialisms to enable you to develop specific skills in electrotechnical engineering processes and procedures, as well as plan, perform and evaluate your work while using a range of materials, methods and techniques.

As part of the course you will also complete an industry work experience placement* of at least 45 days. This will give you a taste of what working in the industry is like, as well as the opportunity to work alongside experienced colleagues and put the skills you have learnt on your course into practice in the workplace.

*Please note: you will be required to commit to undertaking a 45-day work experience placement and, as part of the process, will be required to attend an interview with an industry employer. You are encouraged to secure your own work experience placement, however the college has placement officers who can assist you if required.
