You must be in suitable employment to do an apprenticeship. Ideally an apprentice will also have Maths and English at grade C/4 and above. Note that an apprentice cannot sit their end point assessment without a level 2 qualification gained in Maths and English.

On completion of this qualification learners may progress to higher level business administration qualifications or on to ILM or CMI leadership and management qualifications.

Career opportunities This qualification aims to develop a highly transferable set of knowledge, understanding and skills across a range of administrative practices and tasks, which can be applied to all industries.

We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this apprenticeship through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices study online materials during allotted time at work, and also attend regular sessions with a college tutor.

Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further. Learners will be expected to spend 3-4 hours a week working on VLE-related activities.

On campus, apprentices benefit from regular classes with an experienced college tutor, either in-person or virtually. A combination of tutor-led work, group exercises and discussion encourages apprentices to apply theory to real-life workplace situations. This modern, flexible approach to apprenticeship training empowers learners, minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the workplace.

The apprentice has to successfully achieve their end point assessment which includes;

• Knowledge test - multiple choice exam paper
• Professional discussion based on their portfolio of evidence gained whilst they have been working.
• Presentation and Q & A based on an improvement project they have had to complete whilst working at their organisation.
