Business Administration - Level 3 Apprenticeship
Business Administration - Level 3 Apprenticeship
This apprenticeship is fully-funded and is designed for learners progressing from the Level 2 apprenticeship, or those who are new to an organisation with some previous experience in business administration.
At Level 3, the apprenticeship can be used to recruit and train new staff to your organisation, with suitable roles including business support administrators, office juniors, office supervisors, personal assistants, secretaries or receptionists in a wide range of industries.
To be eligible for apprenticeship funding, the apprentice must be employed for more than 16 hours per week and based in Wales.
Learners must be progressing from the Level 2 apprenticeship in Business Administration or are new to an organisation with some previous experience in business administration.
The learners will be allocated a dedicated tutor/assessor who will work closely with both the learners and employer to ensure the units selected are suited to their individual roles and organisational priorities. The tutor/assessor will visit the learner 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. The learner may be expected to attend seminars or workshops in addition to work based learning, which will focus on the knowledge element of the qualification and support in developing understanding, skills and experience in this area.
Assessment
To successfully complete the qualification, learners will undertake written assignments relevant to their individual role and learning environment. They will acquire the knowledge, tools and techniques associated with each unit that they will then implement in their current work environment to build a portfolio of evidence.
The project, work assigned and evidence gathered will be reviewed during the regular group and 1-2-1 meetings with tutors/assessors and used for assessment purposes. Gower College Swansea utilises Smart Assessor which is an online apprenticeship management tool enabling provider, learner and employer to effectively track learner progress.
