Business Administrator Level 3

Outline

The Business Administrator is expected to deliver their responsibilities efficiently and with integrity, showing a positive attitude. The role involves demonstrating strong communication skills (both written and verbal), and adopting a proactive approach to developing skills. The Business Administrator is also expected to show initiative, managing priorities and their own time, problem solving skills, decision making, and the potential for people management responsibilities through mentoring or coaching others.

Business Administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. Business Administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.

Assessment

It typically takes 12-18 months to complete the apprenticeship, but this will vary depending on your experience and working pattern.

You will be allocated a Trainer Assessor who will support you throughout the apprenticeship with regular monthly sessions. This is flexible to apprentice requirements, however, contact is available and encouraged outside of this time so each apprentice receives the help they need. Trainer Assessors make good use of digital platforms to support this.

Workshops are available for groups and can be managed with employers at enrolment.

Practical Period

• New knowledge, skills and behaviours are delivered and assessed by your Trainer Assessor, with the support of your employer

End Point Assessment
