Within the faculty we offer National 5 Administration and IT.
Administration and IT cuts across all sectors of the economy and offers wide-ranging employment opportunities. The National 5 Administration and IT course provides candidates with experience of real-life administration tasks and engaging practical activities relevant to the world of work. There is an emphasis on the development of transferable life skills and the application of these skills.
Candidates following the course become aware of the use of technology within the workplace, as they complete organisational tasks.
The course comprises two areas of study:
Theory
Candidates are introduced to the responsibilities of organisations, the skills/qualities and tasks (duties) of the administrative support function, and the impact of these in the workplace.
IT applications
Candidates develop skills in IT, problem-solving, organising, and managing information. They select IT applications to create and edit business documents, gather and share information, and develop skills to communicate information.
