Business Administration

This Modern Apprenticeship helps you train employees as new entrants to business administration, but also provides a way for people already in the role to upgrade their skills.

It's suitable for employees working in roles such as:

• administration assistant

• clerical assistant

• data entry clerk

• filing or records clerk

• junior secretary

• receptionist

• administrator or administration officer

• executive officer

• office supervisor

• personal assistant

• secretary

There are no formal entry requirements for either level, but it’s important that your candidates show the ability and commitment to achieve all outcomes of their apprenticeship.

If they start at SCQF Level 6, it may be useful for candidates to have completed the MA at SCQF Level 5.

SCQF Level 5

After completing Level 5, your employees have the option to take on more specialised tasks within their area, or progress up to the next level of MA.

SCQF Level 6

After completing Level 6, your employees could move on to:

• the SCQF Level 6 Modern Apprenticeship in Business Administration

• an SVQ level 4 in another area such as management

They might wish to pursue a business-related HNC at SCQF Level 7 or HND at SCQF Level 8, with possible progression to a full honours degree. They could also specialise in a particular area of administration.
