Design Surveying and Planning for Construction - T Level

Do you want to become an architect, become part of the future of sustainable construction, or work in planning and civil engineering? Our T Level Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction course will give you the grounding of skills and knowledge to put you on this career path.

You'll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a work placement with an employer to give you the skills and knowledge needed to open the door to highly skilled employment, an apprenticeship or higher-level study, including university.
