Business Management and Administration

The T Level Management and Administration course is made up of two components, both of which you need to successfully achieve.

The Core Component
The core content is designed to offer sufficient breadth of knowledge and skills for you to apply in a variety of contexts related to the industry and those occupational specialisms linked to this T Level. The core content is the building blocks of knowledge and skills that will give you a broad understanding of the industry and job roles. At the same time, it will develop the core skills you will need to apply when working within the industry.

Occupational Specialism
Occupational specialisms develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours necessary to achieve threshold competence in an occupation. Threshold competence is defined as when a learner’s attainment against the knowledge, skills and behaviours is of a standard for them to enter the occupation and industry. They must also demonstrate the ability to achieve occupational competence over time with the correct support and training.

Industry placement with an employer

As part of the T Level qualification, learners will have a unique opportunity to develop new talent and learn new skills. The placement will last a minimum of 45 working days.

Learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of, and skills in:

• Supporting the overall running and operation 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
• Developing effective communication with a range of stakeholders to support business practices
• Managing the flow of information through the organisation

How will I be assessed?

An employer set project which will consist of a well-defined, real industry-style brief. The brief will be complex and non-routine, and will require the use of relevant Maths, English and Digital Skills. This will be graded from A* – E.
