Lecturer - T Level - Management & Administration

T Level is a new qualification introduced by the Government as an option for 16-18 year old school leavers alongside A levels or apprenticeships.

It is equivalent to 3 A levels and will not hinder students from going to university. Alternatively, it can help students improve their employability skills and prepare them for immediate employment. My area of expertise is T Level Management & Administration. The programme involves a 9-week work experience and aims to develop vital communication skills, trust, and integrity within the workplace. Other topics included in the course are finance, project management, people and policies and procedures. Students are assessed via presentations, group discussions, research skills, and project work. Additionally, there are two exams as a form of assessment, although this is used as a minority technique. Historically, the definition of a successful student did not involve characteristics of high-performing employees. However, T Levels strive to close that gap. I welcome the opportunity to speak to parents or employers who would like to support students on this qualification.
