23 START AND
MANAGE A SMALL
BUSINESS
It is a Unit Standard Based Learning Program at NQF Level 1 worth 3
credits. 10009 is the SAQA Unit Standard ID. This Course focuses on all
the important aspects involved in starting your own small business.
Students would gain perspective on Small, Medium and Micro
Enterprises, as well as the external factors that have an influence on
them. Attention is given to the process of establishing a business,
which involves the generating of business ideas, determining which of
these are feasible and have potential, as well as what means of
marketing would be used. One cannot merely jump into such a
venture without giving proper thought to all the contributing factors.
A very important part of this course is therefore aimed at teaching
students how to do calculations to determine their business needs,
potential market, viability, expected income, cash budgeting,
financial risks, etc. This leads to the establishment of a business plan,
which in turns involves certain legal requirements. Setting up a
successful business involves a lot of technical aspects like registration,
testing, licensing, and compliance to legislation. For this reason, the
course deals with labour legislation such as Employment contracts,
Equity Acts and Labour Relations Acts.

27 OFFICE
ADMINISTRATION
An Office Administrator of an organisation coordinates the work
system within a given office or division. Whether it is keeping files and
records up to date or marketing a product or service, keeping things
organised and structured is the main objective. Office Administrators
function at the heart of any company, so it is essential that they
carefully plan what outcomes and results are expected from
employees in order to ensure functionality and efficiency. They
usually lead and manage a group of clerks, so basic human
resources skills are also essential. Although the size of a specific
organisation determines what tasks an office administrator has to do,
the general functions that could possibly fall under this umbrella
include the following: overseeing office equipment, stock taking,
procuring and budgeting for office supplies, filing documents,
compiling
progress
reports,
drafting
correspondence
for
management, scheduling appointments, dealing with office queries,
distributing payroll documents, employee orientation, etc. If you're
interested in working with people and seeing to it that an office,
division or department within an organisation runs smoothly, this
course is ideal for you. The course is accredited against SAQA Unit
Standard 110009, NQF Level 4 Credits: 4.
