T Level in Management and Administration (Specialism in Team Leadership and Management), Level 3

Is this course for me?

T Levels are a 2-year qualification that you can do after GCSEs as an alternative to A Levels, other post-16 courses or an apprenticeship.

The curriculum has been designed with leading businesses and employers to ensure you're equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge the industry is looking for.

You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% on a 45-day placement with an employer to give you the skills and knowledge companies look for.

Your industry placement also gives you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you continue your studies. Like A Levels and BTECs, there are no tuition fees to study a T Level if you start before you are 19.
