Overview
The qualification in Business and Administrative management at Level 5 has been developed to conform to the requirements of the RQF, to meet the requirements of employers, the needs of learners and our centres. The qualification is not tied to any specific industry but delivers the skills, knowledge and understanding required for learners who aspire to roles in business and administrative management in different sectors on a domestic and international platform. .
We provide a route for learners who have already achieved qualifications in Business and Administrative management at level 4 and for learners who do not have management qualifications but have qualifications at the same level in other areas and/or prior experience in the workplaces.
The Diploma allows learners to acquire knowledge and understanding in a range of subject areas and to develop some of the key skills they require to work as an administrative manager. This is done through a combination of mandatory units together with a choice of options. Learners can select optional units in particular specialisms that are directly related to their current responsibilities or that meet a particular interest and support career development.
The ATHE Level 5 Diploma in Business and Administrative Management is a 120-credit qualification.
