Business Administrator Apprenticeship Level 3
Year:
In brief...
In every sector and in businesses of all sizes, efficient administration is vital. The Business Administrator Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship will provide valuable experience of a variety of business related activities. You will be working in an office environment where your duties could encompass many areas of office work such as customer enquiries, working in a team, dealing with computer systems, organising meetings, taking responsibility. Because administration is important in most businesses, your exact duties will depend upon your employer and you could find yourself working within a specific department, or across the whole business. This apprenticeship provides a good grounding in business skills that should provide you with transferable skills and help you progress with your career.
Who is it for?
Apprenticeships are a great option both for GCSE school leavers and A level students who want to get straight onto the career ladder, or people looking for a change in career. A Level 3 apprenticeship is academically equivalent to A Levels, although remember that the apprenticeship is a vocational level.
Where possible staff from The College’s BASE team will help you find an employer and a place of work (although students who are already employed are welcome to apply if sponsored by their employer). Your offer of Apprenticeship training will be dependent upon work placements being available. Please note it is the employer’s final decision as to whether an apprenticeship placement is offered.
What courses can I do after this?
On successful completion of this Apprenticeship you could progress onto another apprenticeship, such as Team Leader/Supervisor or HR Support, or Associate Project Manager. You could also move into a different type of role, such as marketing or IT.
