NZ Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology)

The New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) (Level 3) is the perfect way to retrain for modern office systems. It is designed for those who will be running the admin side of their own business or wish to work in an administration role.

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

The programme uses a combination of classroom tutorials and ‘step-by-step’ handbooks, to ensure each part of the programme remains highly practical and relevant to what employers expect from their administration staff. This programme is very practical and has students at a computer from the first day. It is a full-time programme but flexibility in attendance is allowed.

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.
