New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) (Level 3) (Invercargill)

The purpose of this qualification is to provide New Zealand business entities with people who have introductory business administration and technology skills to work in a range of supervised general office administration roles. The programme has been designed around a simulated reallife business entity. Students will become part of the organisation and play active roles in the business daily activities. If youre thinking of a career in business or want to progress in your current role by gaining additional qualifications we offer a wide range of business courses. Our flagship business and commerce programmes are the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Enterprise and the three year Bachelor of Commerce which offers a choice of three majors Accounting Management or Marketing. Both programmes offer an unrivalled mix of academic and practical learning and are delivered by top tutors. Final year Bachelor of Commerce students complete a consultation paper that provides a solution to a real need identified by their own employer or other industry beneficiary and PGDipBE students complete a dissertation on their topic of choice centered on any innovative business product service venture or facility for which they develop a scoping study that is subsequently developed into a comprehensive research based business or strategic plan.
