Further Study
This course can progress you directly into employment or onto a level 3 in Business Administration or other Level 3 course.Career Prospects
For those using the course as a stepping-stone into employment you can start your career as a medical/legal administrator or secretary, providing administration support. Within the medical field previous students have gained employment as medical receptionists/secretaries in a range of health care environments including GP, Hospital, Optician, Dentist and other Allied Health Professional businesses. Previous students who completed legal administration have found work as Legal Personal Assistants and Legal Secretaries in a range of businesses. Regardless of the pathway chosen it does not prevent students from working in other businesses and past students have also secured employment with schools, architects, civil service etc. Not all students want to progress directly into employment, so the course offers the flexibility of enabling students to progress to Level 3 Administration, Business, Health and Social Care, Travel and Tourism etc courses within NWRC.Enquiry

I played the part of Jesus in the college’s 2024 production of Superstar Live. The audition was intense, but I had a feeling I got the part as I had the right physical look. It was such a brilliant experience performing in front of a live audience!Joshua Miller (Performing Arts)
