Business Administrator Level 3 Apprenticeship

Home / Business Administrator Level 3 Apprenticeship

The Business Administrator level 3 apprenticeship teaches a set of highly transferable skills and behaviours, which along with practical knowledge, can be applied in small and large businesses from across the public, private sector and charitable sectors.

The business administration role may involve working independently or as part of a team. It includes developing, implementing, maintaining and improving the efficiency of administrative services.

Overall, responsibilities will vary depending on the business. Typically this includes providing central or departmental support to different functions of the organisation. Good administrators are able to demonstrate strong communication skills, both written and verbal, a proactive approach to managing priorities and have good problem-solving and decision-making skills.

The flexibility and responsiveness required in many business administration roles allow the apprentice to develop a wide range of skills often leading more senior business administrators to develop the potential for people management responsibilities through mentoring or coaching others on the way to a team leader or management role.

Many individuals in these roles will interact with internal or external customers. We embed customer service skills within the Business Administration apprenticeship.

The entry requirement fwill be decided by each employer, but may typically be five GCSEs at Grade C or higher. English/Maths is not required however it will need to be completed by the end of the apprenticeship.

This apprenticeship is ideal for current or new employees working in an office environment with responsibility for developing the quality of the administration service.

This apprenticeship duration is 15 months.

I’ve really enjoyed learning from Anthony during this course. He has explained the topics clearly and is always patient and approachable whenever I have questions. I appreciated how Anthony has made the lessons engaging and took the time to ensure everyone is keeping up.

I’ve recently completed my Level 3 Team Leader / Supervisor Apprenticeship with City Skills Limited and I’m proud to say I achieved a Distinction. My coach, Anthony Hari, has been fantastic throughout the entire programme. He provided clear guidance, valuable feedback, and genuine encouragement at every stage. His support helped me not only understand the theory but also apply it directly to real workplace projects, which made the learning truly meaningful. The structure and resources from City Skills were easy to follow, and the feedback process was always timely and constructive. I always felt supported and motivated to aim for the highest standard. I would highly recommend City Skills Limited and Anthony Hari to anyone looking to complete a management or leadership apprenticeship — their professionalism, patience, and dedication genuinely make a difference.

I am currently enrolled onto the L5 Learning and Development Consultant apprenticeship and really enjoying the course so far. The content is rich and I find the teaching style really engaging and accessible. The taught elements have helped me to develop my skills, particularly in designing learning interventions and facilitation, which I'm reaping the benefits of in my current role. I can't recommend City Skills enough!

I have just finished my L5 CIPD People Professional Apprenticeship with City Skills and was awarded a distinction! None of this would have been possible without the advice and support from my tutor, Jim Blythe, who was fantastic from start to finish. I have previously done the L3 Apprenticeship through City Skills with Jim and specifically wanted to be in the cohort he was teaching . Thanks Jim for everything :-)

I am currently completing my CIPD People Professional apprenticeship with City Skills and have been impressed with coordination and teaching throughout the course. I am in the final 6-8 months of study, my tutor has been a great support with engaging classroom content on a fortnightly basis, and regular review meetings. The assignment support is very useful and I know my development coach is available if any extra support is needed. The process for completing the apprenticeship has been straightforward and explained throughout and we regularly visit the course expectations. I am enjoying completing the course and am glad I chose City Skills to do this with.
