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 as a blended learning delivery with online and tutor-led learning sessions. The programme creates a flexibility in the learning 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 online step-by-step lessons and once a week face to face lesson with the tutor, 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.
