About this course

Level 2 Business Admin Course in Lambeth. Classes run at Lambeth College Clapham Campus. You'll study full-time during the day, covering the core knowledge and skills needed for administrative roles across a wide range of business environments. The course runs for 36 weeks. To enrol, you'll typically need four GCSEs at grade 4 or above (or equivalent), or a Level 2 qualification in English. If you don't have those, an initial assessment of your English literacy will help determine whether this is the right level for you.

Who this course is for

If you are looking to improve your career prospects in any number of business-based environments, or are looking for a qualification that will open the door to further levels of study, then this course is a fantastic starting point. The Level 2 Certificate in Principles of Business Administration will provide you with the core knowledge and skills that are essential to working in an administrative role. On this course you will be taught the basics of successful administration; you will learn how to carry out a wide variety of administrative services, how to manage information and produce professional documents, and how to communicate in a business-appropriate way. More than just the technical skills of administration, you will also be taught about the day-to-day operations of business environments and organisations, and how to communicate effectively and professionally.

Entry requirements

4 GCSE qualifications (or equivalent) at grade C or 4 and above, or Level 2 vocational qualification, or Level 2 qualification in English. Additional Information:If you do not hold a suitable Level 2 qualification, or cannot provide evidence of one, you may still be able to enrol on this course following an initial assessment to test your level of literacy in English.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn the principles of business communication and how to apply them in a workplace setting.
  • You'll understand how to manage information and produce accurate business documents.
  • You'll explore how organisations are structured and how administrative functions support them.
  • You'll develop knowledge of health, safety, and security procedures relevant to office environments.
  • You'll learn how to handle data and records in line with business requirements.
  • You'll understand how to support meetings, events, and day-to-day office operations.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Lambeth College Clapham Campus. Assessment is through written assignments and knowledge-based tasks that test your understanding of business administration principles. There are no formal exams.
