The Office Technician certificate is designed for students who wish to obtain an entry-level data-entry position in a short period of time.
Many job postings require keyboarding, word processing and spreadsheet manipulation skills. This certificate exposes the student to all three areas with the major emphasis on intermediate and advanced word processing applications. Document production (quantity and quality) is also addressed.
These skills facilitate the student's entry into the job market, and completing an associate degree can lead to job advancement. These certificate courses naturally feed into the Administrative Office Technology and Office Management concentration of the General Business associate degree programs.
