Qualifications and Experience
The qualifications that are necessary to get admin, secretarial & PA jobs will depend on the organisation and the duties that are involved. Some companies will willingly accept GCSE and A-levels while others will require a degree in Business Administration with a certain specialisation.

Admin, secretarial & PA jobs in the UK are very competitive areas in business; however, candidates can take the NVQ 2/3 with focus in business administration. They can also take the OCR Higher diploma in Administrative Procedures or the City & Guilds Advanced Diploma and Higher Professional Diploma in Business Administration.
