The Copper Connection Podcast – Season 2, Episode 70, You Did It: Level 2 Plumbing & T Level BSE 2025–26 Celebration Special
You did it. From September 2025 to June 2026, you’ve pushed through one of the toughest years in technical education – and this episode is here to celebrate you.
In this special Copper Connection celebration, Chris Bailey looks back at everything Level 2 Plumbing, T‑Level Building Services Engineering (BSE) Year 1 Core, and T‑Level BSE Year 2 Occupational Specialism students have overcome this year. From first‑day nerves and learning the tools, to tackling construction science, regulations, revision, assessments and real site experience – this is the full story the results sheet never shows.
Whether your final grades are exactly what you wanted or not, this episode reminds you of the hidden wins: turning up when you were tired, learning from mistakes, balancing life and study, and building a professional trade mindset.
Chris also previews what’s coming over the summer on The Copper Connection Podcast and at thecopperconnectionpodcast.co.uk – a three‑phase series focused on the new apprenticeship standard for students moving into apprenticeships and current apprentices who want more structure and support.
Hit play, take a breath, and recognise what you’ve achieved this year.
