The Management and Administration T Level is an exciting opportunity for ambitious young people to gain real-world business experience alongside essential industry knowledge. This dynamic course will give you a strong understanding of how organisations operate and the vital role you can play in shaping their success.
You’ll build valuable teamwork, communication and professional skills that employers are looking for, while developing a solid foundation of business knowledge.

A significant industry placement will allow you to apply your learning in a real workplace, giving you a competitive edge for employment, apprenticeships or further study. You will also specialise in Team Leadership and Management, equipping you with the confidence and capability to lead in the workplace of the future.
What will I study in Business: Management and Administration T-level?
The qualification will give you a strong understanding of the Management and Administration sector. You will cover key topics including Business Context, People, Quality and Compliance, Finance, and Project and Change Management.
Alongside a substantial industry placement, each student will study Team Leadership and Management as a standalone Occupational Specialism pathway, allowing you to develop focused expertise in this area.
Employer-Set Project
The Employer-Set Project (ESP) is a formal assessment made up of a series of tasks designed to assess the knowledge and skills you have developed through the Core element of your T Level. Each project is developed in collaboration with employers to reflect realistic business activities, developments and challenges within the industry.
The Employer-Set Project is externally assessed and graded. You will be marked on the quality, accuracy and effectiveness of the written work you produce, so it is important that you complete all tasks to the highest possible standard.
You must clearly demonstrate your understanding of the subject and show how you have applied your knowledge to complete the project successfully. This means explaining your thinking and justifying your decisions within your written work — for example, through your planning, reflections and evaluations.
