About this course

Level 3 NVQ Business and Administration Course. Work-based training at your workplace, so you learn while you earn.

The City and Guilds NVQ business and administration qualification takes around 18 months to complete. Mandatory units cover communication, principles of business, and personal and professional development. You then choose optional units to match your job role, such as managing a budget, chairing meetings, or supervising a team. You'll need to be working in an administration role with some supervisory responsibility. A City and Guilds fee of £179 applies.

You'll finish with a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Business and Administration.
