T level Management & Administration

Course Overview

T-Levels are new courses that follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A-Levels. They’ve been co-created by the industry you want to be a part of, so you can gain the knowledge and skills you need to leap ahead of the crowd and into your desired career.

What will I study?

Learners will gain insights into a broad range of sector-relevant issues, including the impact of people, tracking and controlling finance, understanding organisational cultures and stakeholders, and applying project and change management theories. In the second year of the programme, each learner will specialise in team leadership and management, building on core content areas such as business behaviours, quality and compliance, and policy development.
