Overview

Business and Administration NVQs are aimed at staff working in administration across all occupations and sectors of employment.

The level 4 qualification is intended for individuals who are working at a senior level with considerable responsibility for the management of systems and resources, working with an extensive degree of autonomy. The individual's role will involve developing and monitoring facilities and resources to maintain an administrative service within the organisation. Their duties will include: managing an office facility, managing contracts, negotiating and agreeing budgets, monitoring and reviewing the implementation of corporate objectives, strategies and policies, informing and facilitating corporate decision making, creating and managing information systems, chairing meetings. To achieve the full award, candidates must complete six units, including two mandatory units and four optional units.

This qualification is very flexible in its structure enabling the organisation and individual to choose the optional units which best suit their work situation and job role.

Like all NVQs this qualification is competence based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.
