Thinking of teaching this qualification?

  • Extension to Administration (Business Professional) suite

    We are pleased to confirm that the review date for the Administration (Business Professional) suite has been extended to 31st August 2023. For Wales, please refer to Qualifications in Wales for the latest information on the status of these qualifications.

  • Adapted assessment (2021/22)

    During this challenging period, there may be some changes made to assessments to enable remote delivery/assessment and this is referred to as an adapted assessment. Guidance on permitted adaptations is available on our support centre.

  • Withdrawal of Text Processing units

    Following the withdrawal of the Text Processing units in 2017, learners taking Administration (Business Professional) will still be able to use any prior achievement of Text Processing units for certification.

The OCR Level 2 Award in Administration (Business Professional) is a bite-sized qualification that has been developed to recognise learners' understanding of key administrative functions and activities. It accredits learners' abilities to carry out a range of administrative tasks autonomously and has been designed to accredit their achievements in a modern, practical way that is relevant to the work context.

Benefits

  • Flexible structure enabling centres and learners to choose the units most relevant to them.
  • A good starter qualification to which further units may be added later.
  • Modern, flexible assessments.
