Management & Administration

The T Level in Management and Administration is a two-year course that will allow you the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge whilst putting them into practice within an industry placement.

A key element of the course is a placement within a local business, this will give you the opportunity to gain real industry skills.

T Levels are worth UCAS points, if you achieve distinction* that is the equivalent of three A levels at A* and is recognised by universities, other education providers and employers.

The course offers a variety of progression routes; employment in HR to finance or continuing on an academic journey through to a higher level apprenticeships or onto university. The T Level will allow you to gain valuable work experience that employers want as well as not closing the door for further study such as university or higher level Apprenticeships.

The T Level is split into two parts, the core component which provides the underpinning knowledge and skills to gain understanding of the industry followed by a specialism.

Core components

• Types of organisations and the environments in which they operate.
• Organisational culture and values.
• The importance on human resource management.
• The importance of maintaining and improving quality and compliance.
• The importance of financial management within a business.
• The development of policies and procedures.
• The importance of managing organisational change.

Specialisms

• Business improvement.
• Business support.

In our experience, to be successful at this level you will need a grade 5 or above in GCSE English language and maths, in addition to at least four other GCSEs at grade 4 or above (or equivalent). Students progressing from a Level 2 course will need a Cambridge Technical Diploma with a good merit profile, along with English language and maths GCSE at grade 5 or above.

This course is currently only 16 to 18-year-olds.

Core component – your core subject knowledge will be assessed through externally set examinations. There are two exams with a duration of 2.5 hours that will make up 60% of your overall grade. There will also be a practical employer set project that will put your core skills into practice making up the remaining 40% of your overall grade. The core component is graded A*-E

Occupational specialism – the occupational specialism will involve an externally set assignment, which has a 100% weighting for this component. The assignment will be graded pass, merit, distinction.
