This Administration Assistant Apprenticeship is suitable for anyone aged 16-24 and who is employed in an administration-focused role in any industry. It aims to develop a highly transferable set of skills, knowledge and understanding across a range of administrative practices and tasks, which can be applied to any organisation.
This flexible apprenticeship is delivered in partnership with Mindful Education and combines online learning with regular sessions with a college tutor, referred to as Online and On Campus. Start dates are available throughout the year.
The duration of the apprenticeship is 8-12 months, which includes 12 weeks for the end-point assessment.
We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this apprenticeship through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices study online materials during allotted time at work, and also attend regular sessions with a college tutor.
Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further. Apprentices will be expected to spend 3-4 hours a week working on VLE-related activities.
On campus, apprentices benefit from regular classes with an experienced college tutor, either in-person or virtually. A combination of tutor-led work, group exercises and discussion encourages apprentices to apply theory to real-life workplace situations. This modern, flexible approach to apprenticeship training empowers learners, minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the workplace.
This apprenticeship is free to apprentices, as the cost is paid by the employer. Large companies can fund the course using their apprenticeship levy. SMEs can access government funding to subsidise the cost by 95%.
