Alongside this, they will develop essential IT skills, mastering software like MS Office Suite and database management tools, crucial for effective administration.

    Between months four and six, the focus is on enhancing key skills. Apprentices will improve their communication and interpersonal abilities, learning to interact effectively with colleagues and stakeholders through various communication channels. They will also delve into record and document production, emphasising accuracy, confidentiality, and document management, ensuring they can handle administrative tasks proficiently.

  • Advanced Knowledge and Skills (Month 7-9)

    From the seventh to ninth months, apprentices will deepen their knowledge of business fundamentals and financial processes. They will learn principles of managing change, business finances, and project management through simulations and interactive sessions.
