LCB celebrates top marks for Level 3 Results Day 2025

​​​​​​​For the second year, T Level students received exceptional grades, with 100% of the college’s Design, Surveying & Planning for Construction students achieving either a Distinction or Merit grade

Leeds College of Building (LCB) staff celebrated another landmark year after students received their Level 3 results on Thursday, 14 August.

For the second year, T Level students received exceptional grades, with 100% of the college’s Design, Surveying & Planning for Construction students achieving either a Distinction or Merit grade. 

The figure is head and shoulders above the national results the Department for Education predicted, which estimated that two-thirds (65.3%) of T Level students would achieve a Merit or above.

T Levels are two-year courses taken after GCSEs. They are broadly equivalent in size to three A Levels. These courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and involve a hands-on 45-day industry placement.

Leeds College of Building currently offers T Levels in Civil Engineering and Design, Surveying & Planning for Construction, and a Level 2 Foundation T Level in Construction and the Built Environment.

LCB also achieved a fantastic 90% pass rate or above for all 140 Level 3 BTEC completers across a range of specialisms, with 22 students enrolled on Level 3 Vocational Technical Qualifications (VTQs) attaining 87% pass rate or above.
