T Levels are new two-year, Level 3 study programmes that follow the study of GCSEs and Technical Awards at Key Stage 4 and offer an attractive alternative to A Levels and Apprenticeships.
T Levels combine classroom theory, practical learning with a minimum 315 hours of industry placement with an employer to make sure students have real experience of the workplace.

This course is suitable for young people interested in a career in Business Management and Administration. This course is designed to equip individuals with the skills, knowledge and understanding required for a range of roles in organisations within the business sector.
