Onsite Construction & Building Services Engineering

T Levels in Onsite Construction and Building Services Engineering

After successfully delivering the first-generation T Levels in Onsite Construction and Building Services Engineering (BSE) for the past three years, City & Guilds has made the difficult decision not to re-tender for these two specific T Level contracts. Our decision not to re-tender for these T Levels does not affect any of the other T Level contracts we currently deliver. As a trusted partner in T Level delivery, City & Guilds remains one of the UK's largest providers and has recently secured several other contracts in Engineering & Manufacturing, Management & Administration, and Agriculture. You can read more about this in our news article.


City & Guilds has developed the Technical Qualification (TQ) for Onsite Construction and Building Services Engineering as part of the Construction T Level route. 

How are the T Level TQs structured?

Both the Onsite Construction and Building Services Engineering TQs are split into two main components: the Core, which is assessed by externally set written exams and an Employer-Set Project (ESP), and an Occupational Specialism (OS) which is assessed by a synoptic assignment.    

The following Occupational Specialisms are available within each TQ: 

Onsite Construction

  • Bricklaying 
  • Carpentry & Joinery 
  • Painting & Decorating 
  • Plastering 

Building Services Engineering

Standalone occupational specialisms: 

  • Gas Engineering 
  • Electrical and Electronic Equipment Engineering 
  • Electrotechnical Engineering 
  • Protection Systems Engineering

Combined occupational specialisms: 

  • Plumbing Engineering and Heating Engineering 
  • Heating Engineering and Ventilation
  • Refrigeration Engineering and Air-conditioning Engineering 

Chichester College case study
