Business Administrator Apprenticeship
Level 3
Course Overview
Business administrators offer a crucial role in any business, covering a host of responsibilities that need to be managed efficiently and effectively. Positions in these areas often demand outstanding written and verbal communication skills to engage with various departments within your organisation. These attributes are often combined with a positive mindset, showing initiative and managing priorities to keep your business running.
The programme will help your employees develop the skills to become agile in their approach to deliver, maintain, and improve your central business functions. Your employees will learn to support and engage different parts of the organisation while learning how to interact with internal or external customers, working across teams to resolve issues as required.
You will acquire all the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to complete the Level 3 Business Administrator on the job, to develop vital administration related skills further, including the opportunity to practice and embed your new found skills in a real work based context, whilst progressing in the business administrator role.
As part of this programme your employees will be expected to complete a live business project to demonstrate the skills and behaviours they are developing. This project ensures they are adding value to your business and improving existing processes whilst evidencing their new skills.
