T Level in Management and Administration

If you are considering a career in the management and administration sector, then this is the qualification for you.

With a huge focus on vocational skills designed to help you into skilled employment, higher education or an apprenticeship. As an alternative to A-levels, apprenticeships and other 16-19 courses, T Levels are equivalent to three A-levels and include a mix of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ in-depth experience via an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximately 45 days).

You will study over two years and develop the core knowledge and skills that are essential for progressing to a range of management and administration occupations. This course will be delivered on-site, whilst the industry placement will be as a block release, day release or a mix of these, and will be discussed at the start of the course with your employer.

Year 1 is made up of two key parts:

1. Core: Knowledge and understanding of business contexts, people and management, working as part of a team, quality and compliance, as well as finance and project management for driving change and business behaviours.

2. Employer Set Project: A project set by business leaders that requires you to apply your knowledge to a real-life problem in the industry and includes the following:

• Business context and commercial awareness

• Working collaboratively with others

• Applying a logical approach to problem solving, identifying and resolving issues, recording progress and proposing solutions

• Undertaking research

• Reflective practice

Year 2 is made up of the occupational specialism:

You will specialise in Business support

The purpose of this specialism is for learners to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills within a Business Support role. The specialism is designed to provide opportunity for learners to develop their ability to support business functions, through a range of techniques including use of business tools, problem solving and project management. Learners will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of, and skills in, supporting the overall running and operations of an organisation, using prioritisation skills to support time management and delivery of workloads, considering improvements and recommending ways to develop and improve business practices.

Throughout the 2 years you will complete the Industry Placement: where you will get the opportunity to put the knowledge and skills you have learned in to action. Across year one and two, you will complete at least (315 hours) 45 days in total working in the business industry, giving you valuable experience in the workplace and employers the chance to see the new talent in their industry.

We want you to achieve to the very best of your ability at CRC. To make this happen we offer both learning and personal support by specialist staff tailored to meet your specific needs.
