About this course

Level 4 Business Administration Course in Cambridge. Classes run at Cambridge Regional College, part-time during the day over 18 months. To enrol, you need to be working in an administrative role with management responsibilities. The course is built around your real work. You'll demonstrate skills like managing resources, negotiating, agreeing budgets, and resolving complex administrative problems. This level 4 business administration qualification is assessed through your day-to-day work, so you study and apply learning at the same time. A fee of £2,500 applies.

Who this course is for

To achieve this qualification, you will be employed in a role with administrative management responsibilities.

You will demonstrate management responsibilities through a range of activities such as resource management, negotiating, agreeing budgets and promoting innovation and change, resolving administrative problems – with the authority to present a solution without needing to consult others, being able to analyse, evaluate and reflect all aspects of your work and providing examples of significant changes and improvements you have made within your work.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements but you must be in a suitable administrative role.

What you will learn

  • You'll manage resources and administrative processes at a senior level.
  • You'll negotiate and agree budgets within your organisation.
  • You'll identify problems and present solutions independently, without needing to escalate.
  • You'll promote innovation and lead change in your workplace.
  • You'll analyse, evaluate, and reflect on your own professional practice.
  • You'll develop and apply skills in planning and organising complex administrative work.

How you will learn

This is a work-based NVQ, assessed through evidence gathered from your day-to-day role. You'll build a portfolio demonstrating your competence across the qualification's units. Classroom sessions at Cambridge Regional College support your learning and help you structure your evidence. Assessment is ongoing throughout the 18 months, with a assessor reviewing your portfolio and workplace performance.
