Description:

This 35-week program prepares you for immediate employment in a constantly changing office environment. You will obtain the knowledge and skills required to gain employment in administrative support positions in business, government and non-governmental organizations.

The last component of the program is a three-week practicum placement aimed at providing on-the-job training, furthering your employment opportunities.

Our programs uniquely prepare students by allocating more instructional hours for the application of concepts that the big schools simply don't have time for. Our small class sizes, individual attention, and additional instructional hours, all contribute to student success and employability post-graduation.
