Overview
This Business Administration diploma is designed to upskill staff who work in business administration roles. The qualification offers a range of optional units that the learner can study to match their organisational and job role requirements.
At Level 2, the qualification is for learners who are new to role or who have been redeployed, with suitable roles including business support administrators, office juniors, office supervisors, personal assistants, secretaries, or receptionists in a wide range of industries.
Key information
To be eligible for funding, the learner must be based in Wales.
The learners will be allocated a dedicated tutor/assessor, who will work closely with both the learners and employer to ensure the level and units selected are suited to their individual role and organisational priorities. The tutor/assessor will meet with the learners every 4-6 weeks to assess progress and set objectives for the next period.
The learners will be assigned project work set to their elected units, as well as be expected to gather evidence from their role to demonstrate application of their new skills.
