How to get into Building Services Engineering

What should you choose to study at school, college or university? 

To get started, you will need

• GCSE Mathematics (grade 4 or higher)
• GCSE Science of Physics/Chemistry (grade 4 or higher)

It's also useful to study GCSE Design and Technology.

Once you've got your GCSE's there are three main ways into a Building Services career.

1. A-levels in Maths and Science leading to a degree course at university in building services engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or other related degrees.
2. Find a college that offers T levels in Building Services Engineering or Design, Surveying and Planning. These qualifications include work experience.
3. Earn while you learn and become an apprentice. Look for an apprenticeship with a company in building services or construction. The government careers website can help with this.
