Getting ahead in business is not always about who has the best qualification but who has the most hands-on experience. A certificate in business administration is the perfect way of allowing you to get the theoretical training you need to get into business, without taking years to complete.
After all, working with people is not always something that can be taught. Each person, each team and each company has different ways of doing things, and learning through practice is really the best way to get experience with people. Theory does help, but it’s in application that real learning happens.
This is why Varsity College offers a programme that’s shorter than a degree but still comprehensive enough for you to be able to function at a high level in the business world. We understand the needs of the business and our programme is designed to get you into the workplace sooner, without cutting back on essential skills.
The advantages really are straight forward: you’ll get to earn a salary faster, build up important experience, and be exposed to fields you can later specialise in. And best of all, you’ll have access to our network of employers through the Career Centre.
"In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later. "
