Business Administrator
Why become a business administrator?
A hotel serves guests from all over the world; a machine factory produces drilling machines and lawn mowers; a department store offers a variety of products to its customers.
These companies employ a wide variety of professionals with various specialist skills: Hotel/gastronomy experts, engineers, mechanics, storekeepers, salespeople.
In all companies, however, there is also a need for people with commercial skills – in other words, Business Administrators.
A Business Administrator knows how to calculate the price of a product, treats customers in a friendly and professional manner, works with computer programs professionally, speaks and writes perfect Myanmar and speaks English in a business environment, among a lot of other things.
The corresponding vocational training for the Business Administrator at CVT is based on training and learning at the vocational school, the training company and the practical training center (PTC). The training course takes two years. Students will get a Swiss approved diploma as Business Administrator when they pass the final exam.
After successfully completing the vocational training, several courses for further education can be attended.

Testimonial
Ms. Thandar Aung
I am attending the final year of the commercial assistant program at CVT Myanmar. In the apprenticeship, I have 6 subjects which are essential for the workplace. Therefore, apprentices like me who are attending the commercial assistant program at CVT don’t need to join courses at other training institutions. At CVT Myanmar, I have the opportunities to learn computer skills, social skills, financial skills, business management skills and so on. Especially for business management subjects, the basic concept of human resource management, sales and marketing and business English fully match the requirements at work. I would like to thank all teachers and CVT Myanmar not only for teaching basic skills used at work but also for the financial and business management skills for young people who would like to start their own business.

I am Ma Su Min Myat. I am attending the final year CVT Commercial Assistant Course and I am working with the Asian Trails Myanmar. By attending the CVT School, the apprentices have a good theoretical knowledge. The teaching methodology is student friendly, and so, we are quite happy attending the classes. As a final year student, I have a lot to learn. We are always hearing the CVT’s good news everywhere. The subjects in the commercial assistant profession are greatly contributing to our work at the company. So, I want all youngsters to attend the CVT courses. I wish CVT a greater success.
