How to become an Administration Manager 

In order to gain experience and become an Administration Manager, working as an Office Administrator and moving up the career ladder can help you get there.

However, getting qualified with a nationally-recognised course can help you build foundational knowledge that can contribute to your career success. Studying the BSB30120 - Certificate III in Business (Administration) or BSB40120 - Certificate IV in Business (Administration) can help you get familiar with some of the business administration processes. 

Higher-level qualifications such as the BSB50120 - Diploma of Business (Operations) can also prepare you for this career provided that you also have the work experience, too. 
Upskilled has been a tool in my life to get the qualification I need to satisfy my future employment and opportunities.
