ESOL+ Business Administration / Health & Social Care

The Business Administration element of the course follows a modular training programme and focuses on areas such as enterprise, finance, branding sales, and so on.  It also provides an insight into office working practices and students will have the opportunity to work and study in the College's Executive Training Suite as part of their course.  This course forms the basis of the knowledge required for progression onto higher level courses and also helps to develop the practical skills that are needed for working in an office environment. Business wear is required. The course will prepare learners for nationally recognised qualifications in both ESOL and Business Administration.  Students will also study Numeracy as part of the programme; this will also lead to a recognised qualification.

Students who enrol on these courses need to be fully committed as we expect an attendance rate of 100%. Students whose attendance drops below 90% will be at risk of losing their places.
