ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DfE
Construction is a key part of this government’s missions, and I am delighted to report that two of the construction T Levels continue to grow and offer high-quality options for learners.
The Onsite Construction T Level is also providing valuable education, industry experience and a positive route into employment to those who take it. However, its success has been limited because of a lack of overall demand for a large qualification at level 3. We have as a result concluded that the needs of learners and the economy are best met through apprenticeships and other classroom provision and decided to cease taking new enrolments for the Onsite Construction T Level. Those already taking it will be able to complete it as planned, and progress into positive destinations post-graduation.
To meet the economic needs of this important sector and ensure that we can support the government’s missions around high-quality housing, we are also keeping one large qualification in Site Carpentry, and 11 other medium and small qualifications.
