What does a Business Administrator do? 

Business Administrators make modern workplaces run smoothly. You'll manage important documents, handle professional communications and support your colleagues with day-to-day operations. Your role might include welcoming clients, organising records, scheduling meetings or working with business software. With experience, you could take on more responsibility — helping develop office processes and supporting leadership teams.

What skills does a Business Administrator need? 

Business Administrators need computer skills to update databases, work with spreadsheets and manage digital records. You'll need to know how to schedule meetings, put together reports and handle office systems. Many roles also involve working with financial software for tasks like invoicing and payroll. Our business administration courses are designed to build these essential workplace skills and prepare you for real office environments.

But business success takes more than technical skills — learn more about traits of successful business and management workers and see if they match your strengths.
