Potential students who are looking to develop their business administration skills will benefit from studying the Level 2 Principles of Business Administration Certificate. The 10-week course is studied online, ideal for anyone looking to increase their skills around any existing commitments. The course costs £362, however, it may be free for students aged 19 or over who meet eligibility criteria.

The college is also enrolling students on the Level 3 NEBOSH Occupational Health and Safety National General Certificate. Over a period of seven weeks, students will learn invaluable knowledge and skills relating to health and safety, identifying and controlling workplace hazards and legislation. This short course is relevant to every workplace, but it is ideally suited to managers, supervisors, or anybody with health and safety management responsibilities or those embarking on a career in health and safety.

“We’re excited to be extending our course provision and offering these new courses. These short courses will allow students to enhance their skills and boost their career prospects, whilst having the flexibility to study around their existing family, education and work commitments. Students who complete these courses will be in the perfect position to progress onto higher level study with us.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting potential new students at an enrolment session on Thursday 5 January 2023.

“I’m delighted to offer 10% discount to anyone who attends this session and enrols onto either the Level 1 or 2 Computerised Payroll for Business or Level 3 Occupational Health and Safety NEBOSH National General Certificate qualification.”
