The Business Administration for Team Leaders apprenticeship is a 12-month, fully funded programme for administrative assistants, office coordinators, business support officers, and operations assistants who want to move beyond day-to-day admin and build the confidence to lead teams and manage business operations effectively.
Across 11 workshops, learners develop practical skills covering leadership, stakeholder management, process improvement, data-driven decision-making, and project management, and apply them to real challenges in their own workplace. Delivery is flexible, with organisations able to choose between fully remote, blended, or face-to-face, depending on what works best for their team.
There is no cost to eligible employers, and at the end of it, learners come away with a recognised Level 3 Business Administrator qualification, plus a management certificate included within the programme at no extra charge.
Handling day-to-day admin and ready to build real management skills. Developing the confidence to take on greater responsibility and lead with impact.
Coordinating tasks and supporting teams and ready to formalise that experience. Building the leadership, communication, and process skills to operate more strategically.
Working across business functions and ready to develop a broader management toolkit. Gaining the commercial awareness and problem-solving skills to excel at a higher level.
Managing customer-facing processes and ready to lead with more structure and confidence. Developing the stakeholder, compliance, and team management skills to step up.
This programme goes beyond processes and paperwork, embedding Core360 ILM management development into every unit. It is to develop team leaders who can manage, influence, and deliver, all built around real workplace challenges, real stakeholder situations, and real business impact. Not tick-box admin.

Speak to our team — no obligation, just a conversation.
The programme runs across 11 workshops over 12 months, followed by end-point assessment.
The programme is fully funded for apprenticeship levy payers, meaning there is no direct cost to eligible employers. If your organisation does not pay the apprenticeship levy, you can still access significant funding for this programme. Speak to our team to check your organisation’s eligibility.
Learners achieve a qualification equivalent to a Level 3 Business Administration standard, recognised across the UK as a credible foundation qualification in business administration, team leadership, and management practice.
This programme suits individuals working in business support and administrative roles who are looking to build their management skills, confidence, and organisational capability.
Learners need to be in employment, and their employer needs to be eligible to access apprenticeship funding, which covers most organisations with a payroll over £3m, and many smaller ones too. Not sure if that’s you? Just give us a call and we will check in minutes.
Core 360: Building Management Excellence is a series of masterclasses woven into the programme to develop the broader management behaviours. It is covering strategic planning, resource management, project delivery, and leading change. This is funded within the programme at no extra cost.
Whether you want to pick up the phone and speak to us, or drop us an email, we’ll let you decide.
