What does Business Administration Include?

Business administration apprenticeships are an excellent choice for individuals seeking a career path with plenty of opportunity and room for growth. A business admin role means managing the resources, time and people within an organisation or business and essentially carrying out any administration work that ensures the smooth running of the business.

Business admin roles can also be hugely varied, from education centres to doctors’ offices and everything in-between. However, the skills learned in a business administration apprenticeship are adaptive and key for any workplace.

What is an End Point Assessment?

An end point assessment, otherwise known as an EPA, is the final stage of an apprenticeship programme. The apprentice must undertake and pass their EPA to receive an apprenticeship certificate and qualification. The assessment process is essential as it ensures the apprentice has developed the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours outlined in the business administration apprenticeship standard.

Typically, a business administrator level 3 apprenticeship has a duration of between 12 and 18 months. However, this can vary based on the apprenticeship provider and business. The business administration level 3 standard end point assessment has a maximum timescale of three months.
