The TGI is offering Level 3 business administration as an adults-only part-time course for the first time. The financial support is open to anyone who does not already hold a full Level 3 qualification, is aged 19 or over, is ordinarily resident in Guernsey and Alderney and has been for at least 12 months, and holds a valid residency certificate or permit.
‘Many adults have the ability and the ambition to move into a new career but are held back because they don’t have the qualifications on paper, or because the cost of getting them is out of reach. Including this course within our Free Level 3 pilot hopefully removes that barrier,’ said Chris Roughsedge, project lead for The Guernsey Institute.
Learners will develop practical skills in communication, organisation, project management and business operations, all of which can be used across a wide range of workplaces.
With the new initiative, TGI recognises that adult learners bring very different levels of experience and knowledge. Tailored learning pathways will be developed to support each learner’s progression towards the full qualification. Delivery will be flexible, so that learners can balance study alongside work and other commitments.
‘We have been so pleased with the positive response to, and interest in, the two free Level 3 courses we launched last month, and we hope this will be received equally well,’ said TGI executive principal Louise Misselke.
‘The business administration course equips learners with an excellent range of employability skills, and is ideal for adults wanting to upskill, retrain or switch careers in an ever-changing employment market.’
For adults who need to build their foundations first, TGI will also offer a free, adult-only, part-time Level 2 Business Administration qualification, helping learners develop the skills and confidence needed to progress.
