Who is the Apprenticeship for?
Business administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. This includes small and large businesses alike; from the public sector, private sector and charitable sector. The role may involve working independently or as part of a team and will involve developing, implementing, maintaining and improving administrative services. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.

End Point Assessment
To achieve final certification, the Apprentice must have an appropriate place, with internet access, to undertake the End-Point Assessment (EPA).
The EPA consists of three distinct components:
- Knowledge test: Scenario-based questions. The apprentice must pass the test before going on to the interview
- Presentation: Presentation on improvements made which will last 15-30 minutes.
- Interview: A 30-45-minute interview in controlled conditions with an independent assessor. Questions are based on the standard, including behaviours, and draw on the apprentice’s learning and experiences during on-programme.
Duration
The duration of the Level 3 Business Administration will typically be 12 – 15 months.
The minimum duration on programme before an apprentice can take the end-point assessment is 12 months.
