This course primarily focuses on preparation for work in an office environment, but many students use it as a stepping stone for entry to third level courses in the areas of business, computers and accountancy. Work placement is a mandatory element to the course and allows students to gain experience in a busy office environment. Some students also use this course as useful preparation for subsequent third level studies.
This is a one-year full time course and runs from September to May.

“As a student studying Business Administration at CCFE, class of 2020, I found the course was very interesting, well-rounded, and well presented by the lecturers. I learnt important skills like typing and proof-reading which will greatly help me while furthering my education. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in starting their own business or unsure which business career field they would like to pursue because it covers a bit of everything! I plan to use my certificate as a steppingstone to study Finance at Maynooth University.”
