After my A'levels i didn't want to go to university, instead i started looking for a job.
The local college advertised 5x Administrator positions, for a 2year fixed term contract of which for at least 1 day we were taught about Business Administration NVQ level 3. We had weekly meetings with our mentor and she would evaluate our evidence.
As part of the NVQ we had to do Key Skills level 3 in Number & Communication, as well as the ECDL course.
My job role as a Personal Assistant/Administrator for a Business Development Manager - i learned loads of skills as i was the only administrator and it was really hands on.
The other position were the colleges Central Office, Estates Dept & Human Resources..
We got paid �23,000 which included our London weighting.
I only stayed for 14months as in the end i wanted to go university away from London...
..But it was really good experience!
