Business Administration and Technology (Level 3)

Our fees-free 20 week New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) (Level 3) or 'NZBAT', is the perfect way to retrain for modern office systems. It is designed for those wanting to run the admin side of their own business, work in an administration role, or upskill.

This hands-on Business Administration programme will help you grow your knowledge, understanding and skills using the Microsoft Office Suite. While covering computer applications like Microsoft Word, Excel and Publisher, it includes business report writing, communication skills and creating business documents. 

This NZBAT course uses a combination of classroom tutorials and ‘step-by-step’ handbooks, to ensure each part of the course remains highly practical and relevant to what employers expect from their administration staff.

Hours of tuition can be flexible based on your lifestyle, but some daytime classes are required, and evening classes may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions

This Business Administration certificate is designed for students with a basic understanding of computers and Microsoft Word. Your level of skill will be observed in the application process to make sure you will be able to succeed. As this is a Level 3 course, it is not recommended for beginners.

You are required to be in class at least 16 hours a week, with a further 16 hours of work completed outside of class times.

Inquire with your local campus for their class times.

You will need to contact StudyLink for the answer to this. All of our courses have been approved by the New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) and, as such, all New Zealand students that enrol in a programme of study can apply to StudyLink.

We strongly recommend that you bring your own device. Bringing your own device allows you to continue to work when you are away from the college, on the projects and self-directed aspects related to the course. If bringing your own device is problematic let us know before you start, and we'll see what we can arrange for you in terms of providing a desktop PC.
