OVERVIEW

*Please note: We can only accept applications from individuals who have already completed Year 11 (or equivalent), as this course begins before September 2026. If you have not yet finished Year 11, please apply for September 2026 entry instead. As a Business and Administration apprentice, your duties will depend on your employer. You could be working with a team or member of staff to handle various tasks. Your role will involve developing, implementing and improving administrative services. Business Administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.
As an apprentice, you will support and engage with different parts of the organisation and interact with internal and external customers. You will develop your IT skills, using multiple packages and systems to produce accurate records and documents. Your planning and organisation skills will be excellent and you will be competent in project management and presentation skills. You will have developed excellent communication skills and be competent in decision making.
By the end of your apprenticeship, you will demonstrate an understanding of appropriate laws, regulations and process and how they are applicable to your organisation. Our apprentices will understand quality assurance and how to apply it to their work. Other units covered include business and finance and managing change. You will continue to study English and maths at level 2.
One of the positive aspects of business and administration is that you can work almost anywhere. With your transferable skills, you could be working in a record company or a charity. Administration roles are also an excellent starting point to move into management once you have gained more experience.
