Course SummaryThe Level 2 in Business Administration is a 5-week course aimed at those aged 19 and over who want to upskill to gain employment within the administration sector. Individuals who thrive on being organised, enjoy working with a broad range of people, have a good eye for detail and are capable of juggling multiple tasks at the same time make great administrators and their importance to organisational success should not be underestimated.

Duties may include fielding telephone calls, receiving and directing visitors, organising travel, creating spreadsheets and presentations, and filing. You may also be responsible for office projects and tasks, as well as overseeing the work of junior administrative staff. Successful completion of the full programme leads to achieving the Pearson BTEC Level 2 Certificate in Principles of Business Administration.
