Completing a business admin apprenticeship isn’t just about gaining a qualification, it’s about building real skills and confidence in the workplace. For Amber, who completed her Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship with Poultec while working at Allstar Training, it was the perfect opportunity to learn on the job and grow professionally. After earning a Distinction and developing a clear sense of direction for her future, she reflects on her apprenticeship journey, the support she received, and how it helped shape her next steps.
“I chose an apprenticeship because I wanted to gain real work experience while continuing to learn and develop my skills,” she explains. “I’ve always been interested in how businesses operate, especially after studying A-Level Business, so doing a Business Admin Level 3 apprenticeship felt like the right next step.”
Unlike full-time study, this apprenticeship allowed her to immediately apply what she was learning which helped her develop skills in communication, organisation, and office systems while working in a professional setting.
Training with Poultec: Support Every Step of the Way
As a specialist apprenticeship training provider, Poultec has supported learners across the UK for over 25 years. For this apprentice, the support from her tutor made a real difference.
“Training with Poultec has been a positive experience. The tutors are supportive and knowledgeable, and the learning platform is easy to use. I especially want to mention Rachael—she was a great tutor. She explained everything clearly, was always approachable, and really helped boost my confidence throughout the course.”
The one-to-one support helped her balance her job responsibilities with learning and made the experience smooth and enjoyable.
Learning on the Job: Growing Personally and Professionally
One of the most rewarding aspects of the apprenticeship journey is the opportunity to continually grow.
“I liked that I wasn’t just doing the same thing every day—there was always something new to take on,” she says. “Being able to apply what I was learning in real situations made it all feel more meaningful.”
Her apprenticeship helped her build skills that are now vital in her role:
- Stronger verbal and written communication
- Time management and organisational skills
- Greater confidence using digital tools and systems
“All these skills have made me more efficient and more confident in taking on responsibilities at work.”
A Distinction and a Future in Marketing
Her hard work paid off with a top result.
“When I found out I’d received a Distinction in my apprenticeship, I felt so proud of myself. It was honestly a mix of excitement and relief.”
The apprenticeship helped her define her future goals – particularly a desire to move into the world of marketing.
“I’ve always been interested in how businesses communicate with their audience and create strong brands, so I’d like to build on the skills I’ve developed in business administration and apply them in a marketing role. ”
