Prepare to Study - Business, Administration and Accounting NQ
What is special about this course?
This 17-week course is an excellent opportunity for people who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in the areas of Business, Administration and Accounting. This all-round qualification provides the opportunity to experience all three areas of study in one award. Students will be supported to consider their own development and next steps whether it is to HN study or employment. The programme is very practical in nature and will develop skills sought after by employers. Students will also develop transferable skills such as team working, communication, time management and organisational skills which are all critical in employment and study.
If you are considering HN study next year then this could be the ideal stepping stone for you as this course is SCQF level 5/6 which will provide the opportunity to hone knowledge and skills required for gaining entry to either HNC Business, HNC Accounting or HNC Administration and IT.
Each candidate, on acceptance to the course will be given the opportunity of creating a timetable, tailor-made for their needs.
