Technical education progression profile

T Level in Management and administration - Business improvement

Technical education progression to

Technical education progression profiles show the range of opportunities available following completion of a technical education product, such as a T Level. This could include a range of technical education options, such as apprenticeships, higher education (for example degrees) and employment opportunities.

IfATE has worked with employers, providers and industry experts to identify some of the possible options including content that is common to each and the associated occupational standard. New progression options will be added as occupational standards are updated, and as we continue to engage with employers, providers and industry experts.

It is important to note that while the progression profiles indicate some of the options, many other opportunities will be available.
