Everyone has the right to live, learn and work in safety, free from abuse, harm and neglect
This qualification is designed for learners who are working, or would like to work, in a business
administration role within any sector or industry.
It’s ideal for those who are new to the role or who’ve
been working at that level for a short period of time.
There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for this qualification. However, learners may find it helpful if they’ve already achieved a Level 2 qualification.
Registration is at the discretion of the centre, in accordance with equality legislation, and should be
made on the Portal.
However, learners should be aged 16 or above to undertake this qualification.
Centres are responsible for ensuring that this qualification is appropriate for the age and ability of
learners. They need to make sure that learners can fulfil the requirements of the assessment criteria and
comply with the relevant literacy, numeracy, and health and safety aspects of this qualification.
Learners registered on this qualification shouldn’t undertake another qualification at the same level with the same or a similar title, as duplication of learning may affect funding eligibility.

• NCFE Level 4 NVQ Diploma in Customer Service
• NCFE Level 4 Diploma in Management
Level 3 Diploma in Business Administration
This qualification aims to provide learners with a number of progression options, including higher level studies at university or FE colleges. The skills required to progress to higher academic studies are different from those required at Levels 1 and 2. Level 3 qualifications enable the development of these skills. Although there is no single definition of higher level learning skills, they include:
• checking and testing information
• supporting your points with evidence
• self-directed study
• self-motivation
• thinking for yourself
• analysing and synthesising information/materials
• critical thinking and problem solving
• working collaboratively
• reflecting upon learning and identifying improvements.
Level 3 criteria can require learners to analyse, draw conclusions, interpret or justify, which are all examples of higher level skills. This means that evidence provided for the portfolio will also demonstrate the development and use of higher level learning skills.
