Apprenticeship training:

Programme: Business Administrator Apprenticeship - Level: 3
Duration: 18 months (dependent on exemptions)
Course type: Apprenticeship standard

Apprenticeship delivery: work based qualification. A tutor will visit you every 4-6 weeks in your workplace.

Units covered:

The apprenticeship programme is made up of different units. Apprentices will be assessed on their knowledge, skills and behaviours throughout the apprenticeship and tracked online using an e-portfolio.

These are grouped into 3 themes which complement each other and are as follows:

  • Core Business & Administration
  • Managing Self & Personal Skills
  • Using Resources & Achieving Results

Assessment:

After each theme is complete, a Mock End Point Assessment is carried out to ensure apprentices are prepared for the End Point Assessment at the end of the programme.

After a minimum of 372 days and successful delivery of the programme, the end point assessment will take place. The end-point assessment is a synoptic assessment of the skills, behaviours and knowledge that have been developed throughout the apprenticeship.

End-Point Assessments will involve an independent assessor carrying out final assessments with the apprentice, to ensure that the competences and learning within the ‘Apprenticeship Standard’ have been met.

Apprentices can achieve a pass, merit or distinction dependent on how well they perform in their End-Point Assessment.

Functional Skills:

Apprentices also work towards a Level 2 qualification in English and maths in the first half of the programme if they have no prior exemption (GCSEs A – C or equivalents in English and maths).

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?

If we have an open vacancy, then we always try to offer a full-time role after completing the apprentice programme.
