T Level Management and Administration – Leadership and Management – C7540

The management and administration T level fires you into global enterprise. Equivalent to 3 A levels, this T level explores theories of business practices, behaviours, organisational cultures, and values that will support you in your career.

In classroom sessions and a carefully chosen industry placement, you build the core knowledge and skills you need to step seamlessly into management and team leading. In the two-year management administration route, you develop your understanding of governance and how organisations can support and affect society and the environment.

Classroom theory supports your 315 hours of industry placement, where you see it applied in real-life business situations as you learn how to support and improve projects in private and public organisations. You will take part in activities that help you to develop your personal skills, such as building your character and confidence. This will help you to live well and move into your chosen career.

At the end of the course, you can either stride out into enterprise or continue into higher education.

Year 1

You enter the first year for an enlightening journey through business context, project and change management, business behaviours and the exciting world of quality and compliance.

From day one, you dive into all things business: organisational cultures and values, internal and external stakeholders, forms of governance and the ways organisations affect society and the environment.

In practical sessions led by nurturing, knowledgeable experts, you discover common change-management theories and models and discuss with your tutors and classmates how businesses can support and improve projects.

As the year progresses, you delve into the importance of good communication and how to adapt your behaviours to suit the situation, purpose, medium and audience, a skill that stays with you into your career and considerably benefits your personal life.

Finally, in detailed quality and compliance sessions, you see the importance of maintaining and improving standards across public and private-sector enterprises.

Year 2

Now comfortable with the theory, your business brain is ready to tackle the day-to-day experience of management administration.

With granular focus, you learn to support the everyday running of an organisation. And with your ever-building toolkit of skills, and expertise, you refine your knowledge to ensure you can establish and prioritise workloads and processes that suit a variety of situations.

The purpose of the T level is to give you the self-assurance needed to recommend and deliver improvements to business practices as well as build and maintain positive internal and external stakeholder relationships – often with top-level team leadership and management whether in a small business or global corporation. Your ability to manage information flow through a business can be the difference between a disappointing result and an incredibly successful year.
