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.
