About this course

Pearson Edexcel Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Business Administration Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You study while working in an administration role, applying what you learn directly to your job. The course covers implementing and monitoring administrative procedures, supervising others, and contributing to organisational change. It typically takes 12 months to complete. You'll have an initial assessment before your place is confirmed, to make sure the Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Business Administration qualification is the right fit.

Who this course is for

The Level 3 is ideal if you have some knowledge and experience of administration systems. You will want to develop your skills to implement and monitor administrative procedures and systems, perhaps to move into a management role by learning how to effectively supervise others and contribute to wider departmental or organisational change.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements although candidates should have the ability to manage the requirements of the level of the qualification; candidates will be required to undertake the Initial Assessments before confirmation of place on course.

What you will learn

  • You'll implement and monitor administrative systems and procedures.
  • You'll supervise and support colleagues in a business environment.
  • You'll manage information and data within an organisation.
  • You'll contribute to planning and implementing change in a department or organisation.
  • You'll communicate professionally in writing and in meetings.
  • You'll understand how to manage your own workload and priorities effectively.

How you will learn

You learn through your day-to-day work role, gathering evidence of your competence on the job. Assessment is portfolio-based: you build a collection of workplace evidence, observations, and written tasks that demonstrate your skills against the qualification standards. Chiltern Training will assign you an assessor who reviews your evidence and visits you in the workplace.

What you will need to bring

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