About this course

Free Level 1 Business Administration Course in Derby. Classes run at DBC Training Derby, with a mix of online study and time at the centre. You'll cover the core principles of how businesses operate and what administrative roles involve. The course runs for 35 hours full-time during the day. To enrol, you need to be 19 or over, unemployed and not in full-time education, and a British or EU citizen (or have lived in the UK for three or more years).

Who this course is for

An ideal starting point for individuals new to the field, our Level 1 Certificate in Business Administration offers a comprehensive introduction to the foundational principles of business administration. This course is designed to equip learners with essential knowledge and understanding of business operations, essential for success in administrative roles across various industries.

Entry requirements

  • 19+
  • Unemployed and not in full-time education
  • A British/EU citizen or have lived in the UK for 3 years or more

What you will learn

  • You'll understand how business organisations are structured and how they operate.
  • You'll learn the key tasks involved in administrative roles.
  • You'll develop skills in written and verbal business communication.
  • You'll explore how to handle information and documents in a business setting.
  • You'll understand the importance of customer service in administrative work.
  • You'll learn how to manage your own workload and work effectively as part of a team.

How you will learn

Learning is blended: some study is completed online and some takes place at DBC Training Derby during daytime sessions. You'll be assessed through a combination of knowledge checks and practical tasks that reflect real administrative work. Assessment is built into the course rather than a single end exam.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. DBC Training Derby will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Jobs you could do

  • Receptionist: front-of-house admin in offices, clinics, and schools
  • Data entry clerk: inputting and managing business records
  • Office assistant: day-to-day admin tasks in a team

What you could study next

A natural next step is the Level 2 Certificate or Diploma in Business Administration, which goes deeper into office procedures, communication, and coordination. From there, a Level 3 Business Administration qualification opens doors to senior admin, team leader, and PA roles. If you're interested in management, a Level 3 or Level 4 qualification in Management and Leadership builds on the business knowledge you've gained here.
