Apprenticeships - Business Administration

The attraction of Business Administration as such an extremely popular apprenticeship choice is undoubtedly due to the wide variety of tasks involved, combined with the limitless career opportunities available in all sectors and industries. Thanks to effective day-to-day administration, companies of all sizes are able to run smoothly and successfully. “97% of employers say that the administration function is critical to the effectiveness of the organisation.”

An Apprenticeship in Business Administration is designed for those who regularly use a telephone, fax and computer to prepare, process, update, transmit and store a variety of information. An Advanced Apprenticeship in Business Administration is designed for those with supervisory/leadership skills and responsibility either for teams or individual colleagues working in an office environment. There are no formal entry requirements as all applicants for Apprenticeships are assessed individually.
