T Level Management & Administration

Business, Economics and Travel & Tourism / Full Time / T Levels

T Levels (Technical Levels) are a Level 3 qualification that combine theory and practical learning with an industry placement. They have been developed in collaboration with employers to ensure the content meets the needs of industry to prepare students for work. A T Level is equivalent to three A Levels.

Experience with a real employer in a real workplace allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you learn in the classroom to the job, giving you a taste of the world of work you expect once you complete your studies. Around 80% of your time will be spent at college with the remaining 20% being spent at your placement. This differs to an apprenticeship, which is typically 80% on the job and 20% in the classroom.

The T Level in Management and Administration is an excellent choice if you want to develop the knowledge, skills and experience needed for a successful career in business. Combining classroom learning with a substantial industry placement, you'll gain real workplace experience while studying key areas such as project management, business operations, communication and leadership. You'll leave the course with practical skills, professional confidence and valuable industry experience that will help you stand out to employers.

This course will give you a broad understanding of how organisations operate and succeed. You will explore topics including business operations, people management, finance, customer and stakeholder relationships, communication, quality assurance, compliance, and data-driven decision-making. Alongside this knowledge, you will develop practical leadership and management skills, enabling you to manage projects, support organisational change, motivate teams, solve complex business problems, and make a valuable contribution in the workplace.

You will be assessed through exams and employer-set projects, where you will apply your understanding of topics such as business context, project and change management, finance, communication, quality and compliance. In addition, you will complete practical assessments based on realistic workplace scenarios, demonstrating your ability to lead teams, manage projects, support business improvement and contribute to organisational success. You must also complete a substantial industry placement, giving you valuable experience of working in a professional business environment. It is advisable that students secure this placement as soon as possible.

We encourage students to read widely and research independently to deepen their understanding of business and management. Students receive regular one-to-one support from experienced tutors, progress reviews and guidance with assessment preparation. Employer engagement activities and the industry placement also provide valuable opportunities to develop professional skills and gain real insight into the workplace.

You need to demonstrate your commitment to a two-year programme of study. You will need four GCSEs at grade 4 including English Language or Literature and Maths.

The T Level in Management and Administration provides a strong foundation for a wide range of future opportunities. You could progress to higher education courses in Business Management, Human Resource Management, Business and Finance, Marketing, Project Management or Leadership. Alternatively, you may choose to pursue a higher or degree apprenticeship in areas such as business administration, project management, operations, finance or human resources.
