Business and Administration (NVQ Level 3)

The course

Business and Administration NVQs are aimed at staff working in an administration role across all occupations and sectors of employment. Like all NVQs this qualification is competence based, linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role. Underpinning knowledge can be gained through either one-to-one tuition with the Assessor or attendance at workshops.

The level 2 and level 3 Business & Administration qualifications are intended for individuals whose role involves carrying out a broad range of administrative activities, requiring a limited amount of supervision and working with some autonomy. Activities they could be carrying out may include: managing customer relations, managing diary systems, organising business travel and accommodation, organising and supporting meetings, using various computer software and preparing text from a variety of sources.

To achieve the full award at Level 2, candidates must complete five units made up of two mandatory units and three optional units. At Level 3 candidates must complete six units in total, made up of two mandatory units and four optional units.

If you are a secretary, personal assistant or administrator carrying out an administrative or clerical role within your organisation, this NVQ is ideal for you.
