If you want to develop a career in Management and Administration then why not focus on the role of a Business Support. Business support managers are responsible for day-to-day oversight of business operations. They must have in-depth knowledge of the entire business and the duties of all employees. In addition, the business support manager must oversee employee performance and take corrective measures as necessary. Alternatively, as the Business Support Administrator you will provide administration support to the management team, this can include arranging meetings, supporting colleagues with business process queries including onboarding and finance, supporting with the administration of purchase orders and assisting with presentations and reporting. If this is of interest to you then enrol on this new generation of Gold Standard qualifications as a technical alternative to A Levels.
T Levels are new courses which will follow GCSEs and will be equivalent to three A Levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares learners for work. This qualification will help you gain an understanding of the Management and Administration sector and you will cover topics such as: Business Context, People, Quality Compliance, Project, and Change Management along with a student’s chosen specialism.
The qualification will be delivered in partnership with local employers who will contribute to the knowledge and delivery of training. Employers will provide demonstrations and talks on the industry and where possible work placements will also be provided.
This technical qualification is made up of two components, both of which need to be successfully achieved to attain the technical qualification as well as the full T Level in Management and Administration:
Within the T-Level you will complete:
Learners must complete:
Two externally set exams covering knowledge from the Management and Administration core
The exams provide sufficient sampling of the content and consist of a mixture of short answer questions (SAQs), some of which will be structured, and extended response.
One employer-set project covering knowledge and skills from the Management and Administration core.
The employer-set project will consist of a well-defined, real industry-style brief. The brief will be complex and non-routine, and will require the use of relevant maths, English and digital skills. The brief will provide a valid context for the Level 3 learner to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the core content and their core skills to solve occupationally relevant situations and/or problems.
And
One occupational specialism
These assessments will feature a considerable practical element and are composed of a series of holistic practical tasks relating to the specialism at hand. They will take place over a period of time, scheduled at the provider’s preference within an approximate three-month assessment window. By nature of the considerable practical elements, the tasks will generate significant ephemeral evidence and be heavily reliant on Internal Assessor observation notes and records for validation.
The T Level in Management and Administration aims to progress students into one of 3 occupational specialisms through employment or as an Apprentice. These specialisms are Business Improvement, Business Support and Team Leadership/Management. Furthermore, the completion of this qualifications gives students the opportunity to progress onto higher education courses and training.
