Business Administration Apprenticeship NVQ2 Business Administration (Work Based Learning) (PSF0018)
This is a one year training programme aimed at 16 - 18 year olds. It provides work experience with a local employer (four days per week) plus training in college (one day per week), resulting in the Apprenticeship, a nationally recognised qualification. The programme comprises:

• NVQ 2 Business Administration
• Technical Certificate (an administration qualification)
• Key Skills (Application of Number and Communication)

There are two mandatory units and three optional units.


Length of study
1 year

Is this course for me?
This course provides excellent opportunities for learners who want a nationally recognised qualification without full-time study. You will earn a minimum allowance of &pound80; per week whilst working towards a package of recognised qualifications.

A general interest in office administration is essential.


How will I study?
You will be regularly visited in the workplace by your assessor who will work with you to help you achieve the NVQ 2, Key Skills and Technical Certificate

To achieve the NVQ you will provide evidence of a range of administration activities which you complete in the workplace, which might include:

• Using Office Equipment
• Document preparation using a computer
• Filing
• Use a Telephone System
• Manage Diary Systems
• Dealing with Visitors
• Health & Safety

You will discuss which optional units you wish to take with your Assessor. You will also work towards the Technical Certificate, an Administration qualification.

Whilst studying for your NVQ you will be able to gain Key Skills qualifications for Communication and Application of Number.


How will my progress be measured?
You will build up a portfolio of evidence during your work experience. Your Assessor will regularly visit you at work and assess your progress, give you feedback on the NVQ, the Technical Certificate, your Key Skills and your chosen Enhancements. Some of these reviews will take place with your employer present.

There is a multiple-choice exam for the Technical Certificate, completed on-line.


Progression
Whilst on the Apprenticeship you will be looking for permanent employment. Once you have completed your full framework, you could progress onto NVQ3 Business Administration.

Many of our learners have successfully completed their qualification and are now employed by local organisations, including North Lincolnshire Council, North Lindsey College, local solicitors and estate agents.

Please note:
Although every effort is made to find a suitable work placement, the number of places are limited. Placements vary from week to week as companies' requirements change and learners become employed. It is therefore important that early application is made through Connexions or direct to North Lindsey College by completing and Apprenticeship application form obtainable from Customer Services.
