Level 3 Business Admin Apprenticeship - what to expect/experiences

Hi everyone :smile:

I'm starting this level 3 business admin on Monday and just wanted to see if anyone who's been through it can share what it was like. How soon do assignments start from when you begin working there? I assume they try and get you able to do a task at work first before the learning for the apprenticeship starts but I'm not sure.
I'm eager to complete the work as quickly as possible (although I know the minimum length of an apprenticeship has to be 12 months).

How difficult did you find the work? I've got a level 3 in sport science and I have a level 4 in psychology so I feel like I'm capable of coursework but business admin is completely new to me so not sure how I'll find it.

What happened to you after you finished? Did you get to stay on at the same place and what have you been able to progress onto?

Thanks :smile:

Hi!

I started my apprenticeship in September. You start off on the job for a few weeks to 'settle in' and then I met up with my skills coach at my work place - they come every month to have a catch up and a session. You take 4 hours a week to complete coursework and the other days you just do work as usual.

For my apprenticeship, I don't have exams until the very end (EPA). I am still not too sure what to expect for that as I'm only 5 months in.


I hope this helps! 😁

I have an interview coming up in a business admin role. Any advice for the type of questions I could receive?

Hi!

Congratulations on getting an interview. What level is it for?

I talked about my previous work experience in customer service and a lot about computing skills - the job is data administration on a computer so they wanted to know how I did with computers, so that could be asked.
My interview was almost 7 months ago, my memory is terrible, that's all I remember taking about 😂.


Good luck!! 💙
