T levels in Design, Surveying and Planning - Surveying OS - Task 2 - Building information
For providers that are delivering the Surveying and Design for Construction and the Built Environment Occupational Specialism Assessment, an Additional Centre Guidance (ACG) document was made available week commencing 21 March to support the delivery of this assessment. Within this are details of the building required for Task 2 Surveying.
The ACG was uploaded to the course materials section of the qualification page, which you can access below.
T level Construction - Network event
Our next T level Network event for Construction is on 3 May 2022, from 13:00-14:00.
Our Q&A session will be led by the Subject Advisor and the Sector Manager for Construction. The session will not follow a set agenda or format, although we will have prepared some discussion topics to get the session going; instead they are intended to be an opportunity for Technical Qualification tutors to bring their questions into an open forum. You will be able to ask us questions and seek clarification on the content and assessment of the Technical Qualification, which we'll do our best to answer and if we can't...we'll take your questions away and get back to you. You will also have the opportunity to share your ideas, ask for help/suggestions from other Providers so you can pick up some practical tools and advice to take back into your classroom.
T level Construction - Getting Ready to Teach Events

These live session will take you through:
