About this course

Free Level 2 NVQ Business and Administration Course in Hereford. Classes run at Hereford College of Arts, full-time during the day.

The course gives you a broad grounding in how businesses work. You'll study topics such as communication, document production, managing information, and supporting business operations. It is more coursework-focused than a traditional exam-based route, so you'll be assessed through projects and assignments. The course takes around one year to complete.

You'll finish with a City and Guilds NVQ Award in Business and Administration at Level 2.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for you if you are considering a career in business or thinking of running one of your own in the future. It will give you a broad overview of the business sector and the chance to apply your learning to some real business situations. It is more coursework focused than a traditional A level business course, so would suit you if you prefer being assessed on projects and assignments rather than a final exam. It's roughly equivalent to half an A level and is generally taken over 1 year.
