A government press release headlined “Courses key to government growth mission will stay†tells us that it is introducing a T Level in Marketing but scrapping one in Construction.
The Department for Education said: “The Onsite Construction T Level is helping students progress into positive destinations, but will have no further enrolments, due to a lack of overall demand for large qualifications at level 3. Learners already enrolled can still complete their courses.â€
Instead it is hoping that the apprenticeship route will fulfil the role of the Onsite Construction T level, which was designed for young people looking for a career in bricklaying, carpentry & joinery, plastering or painting & decorating.
The T Levels for Building Services Engineering for Construction and Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction continue to have government funding and support.
