Engineering for Construction Building Services: T Level: Electrotechnical Engineering (FEME)

This qualification focuses on the development of knowledge and skills needed to work in the building services engineering industry. It will prepare you to enter the industry through employment or as an apprentice.

This two-year course has been developed in collaboration with leading employers, is aimed at students aged 16-18-years, and combines College-based studies in our dedicated Science, Technologies, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Centre along with a minimum of a 45 day industry placement.

During this time, you will study a range of topics including core content that has been designed to give you a breadth of knowledge and skills for which you can apply in a variety of contexts related to the industry. Together with an employer-based project, the completion of this course will give you the opportunity to progress onto a Higher Education course, training or employment.

• Health and safety practices associated with carrying out electrotechnical systems engineering
• Installation methods and termination of connections
• Systems and products used in electrotechnical engineering
• Analysing and using information to and from electrotechnical systems
• Removal processes as part of system decommissioning

• Who are the key stakeholders that may be involved with electrotechnical system installation and maintenance?
• How are electrotechnical systems checked and tested?
