Level 1 Business Administration Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You learn while you work, building knowledge of business and administration in your day-to-day role. No prior qualifications are required to start. The course takes around 3 weeks and covers the core knowledge you need to work effectively in a business environment. You build a portfolio of evidence drawn from your actual work, so everything you learn is directly relevant to your job. A level 1 business administration qualification that fits around your working life.
Who this course is for
The objective of this qualification is to support a role in the workplace. This qualification is aimed at learners who may be new to working within a business and administration role and wish to improve their knowledge and understanding of the topics it covers. It is designed for learners who work in a variety of work environments and sectors. This qualification is assessed through completion of a portfolio of evidence, which will be internally assessed and internally quality assured by the centre. A portfolio of evidence gives centres flexibility in how individual assessment criteria are assessed. Our employability offer was designed and is continually modified in consultation with the DWP and indeed their customers. These qualifications are also tailored to bespoke cohorts which include; Lone Parent, 50+, male/female only and disability provision. This allows for individualised delivery specifically suited to these cohorts. We believe this sets Deere aside from mainstream provision of this nature.
