Business Administrator Level 3
Business administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors.
Our apprenticeships are suitable for school leavers looking to start their careers and those already working in a role who want to gain an industry related qualification…
An apprenticeship standard in Business Administration at level 3 is a nationally recognised route to a wide variety of office professions. The standards and assessment plans that candidates work towards are set by a number of big employers including the British Council, Npower, Peter Jones Foundation, Peugeot and many more.
Candidates will compile evidence demonstrating occupational skills, knowledge and behaviours. We will support the candidate with one to one workplace visits, virtual learning modules (VLE) and remote sessions. Candidates will be required to complete a work based project/improvement from Month 9 of their programme. This project/improvement will underpin their End Point Assessment (EPA). End Point Assessment (EPA) is the name given to a series of tests an apprentice must take at the end of an apprenticeship to prove their ability to do the job they have been training for.
Course content
The Business Administration apprenticeship content includes Business Fundamentals, Policies & Processes, IT, Record & Document Production, Planning & Organisation, Project Management, Communications and Quality.
Assessment
For the End-Point Assessment, you will complete a 30-45 minute interview on your portfolio, before delivering a 10-15 minute presentation on a project you have completed or a process you have improved. This is followed by a 10-15 minute Q&A session.
Earn while you learn
You will be paid a minimum of £6.40 per hour (the apprenticeship wage is reviewed in April each year). Apprentices do not pay for their training: an apprenticeship is government-funded (sometimes your employer will make a contribution to the course costs, depending on your age).
