We are seeking views from providers, employers, and industry experts.

A draft outline content is in development for a new occupational specialism. The occupational specialism sits within the existing DSP T Level Qualification. Views will be to support the development of this content. More details of this T Level are here: T Level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction.

T Levels are new 2-year courses taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to 3 A Levels. For more information on the introduction of T Levels please visit: Introduction of T Levels - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

A T Level panel of experts have developed the outline content. An awarding body will use the outline content to develop the occupational specialism.

 

WHY WE ARE SEEKING VIEWS

An Outline Content aims to provide learners with: 

  • the specific knowledge and skills to progress to employment within the industry
  • the foundation knowledge that would support progression to higher education courses

Employers, providers, and industry bodies are well-placed to feedback on the course's suitability. Feedback is crucial in developing the detailed qualification specification.

We are asking for those groups mentioned to take part in a short survey to help us find out:

  • the suitability of the content for teaching in a study-based setting
  • if there are gaps in content or content that is unnecessary
  • whether the content will provide good preparation for skilled employment
  • whether this content would provide a good preparation for students to go on to higher education in a relevant area
