Apprenticeship is available for Level 3 Business Administration for this position.

This is a development route so to be eligible to apply for the apprenticeship, the training and development you receive must provide you with significant new skills and learning. This is an essential requirement for apprenticeship funding and means you must not already hold a similar or higher qualification, be working towards a similar or higher qualification, or be significantly experienced in the management, business, or administration modules.

If you hold a similar or higher qualification or are currently working towards a similar or higher qualification in the Business Administration or Team Leader modules, you will be unable to enrol onto the apprenticeship programme.

In addition you must:

• Be aged 16 or over (there is no upper age limit).

This means that if you cannot evidence you have this already, you now have the option to complete the Functional Skills or opt-out if you prefer. We wish to encourage learners to continue with Functional Skills, especially if you feel it would be beneficial in improving your literacy or numeracy skills or it may be helpful for your future career ambitions to have an English and Maths qualification but for this pathway it is not mandatory.
