The NVQ Level 3 qualification requires Candidates to have a wide range of work activities and are directly involved in developing, implementing and maintaining administrative procedures whilst working with customers and clients.

The NVQ Level 4 qualification is appropriate for people with a very wide range of complex technical and professional tasks to perform with a substantial degree of own responsibility and autonomy. It is most usual for the candidate to have subordinates and will be involved in the development, implementation and monitoring of all administrative services within their organisation. 

The standards for the Business and Administration qualifications have been developed by the National Training Organisation for Administration, the Council for Administration.
