T Level Business and Administration

The Management and Administration (Business Support) T Level supports you to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for the modern workplace while also preparing you for further study, including university. 

It is a two‑year Level 3 course, equivalent to three A Levels, and is suitable if you are interested in business, administration and organisational support roles. Developed in collaboration with employers, this T Level reflects current industry needs and expectations. You will combine classroom‑based learning with real‑world experience, spending a minimum of 315 hours on a high‑quality industry placement. This allows you to apply your skills in a professional setting and gain valuable insight into how organisations operate day to day. 

During the course, you will study core business knowledge that helps you understand the environment organisations work within. This includes how businesses are structured and managed, the role of key people and stakeholders, quality and compliance standards, financial contexts, internal policies and procedures, and the principles of project and change management. 

You will also develop professional behaviours that influence effective business practice. Alongside the core content, you will complete the occupational specialism in business support. This focuses on supporting the overall running of an organisation, managing workloads through prioritisation and time management, and considering improvements to business practices. You will develop effective communication skills to work with a range of stakeholders and learn how information flows through an organisation to support business operations. 

By the end of the course, you will have developed strong business awareness, practical workplace skills and professional confidence. This T Level supports progression into employment, apprenticeships or higher education, providing a clear pathway into business, administration and management‑related roles.
