Our Administration OCR Diploma course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to start an interesting and rewarding career in administration. Studying at our City Centre campus in Cardiff, learners will develop the skills and abilities considered essential by employers to tackle a wide range of administration duties with confidence.
Topics studied include:
You will learn through short lectures working with other students in pairs and groups, activities, demonstrations and practical work. This will help you develop good analytical and supervisory skills. You will also spend time working as a manager in the college's executive office, practising your administration skills and collecting evidence for your portfolio. Work experience will help you appreciate the link between the course theory and putting the theory into practice in a real working environment.
