AIMS

This full-time course is designed to equip both school leavers and mature applicants with the knowledge, skill and competence to work independently and under supervision providing administration services and support in a range of office administration contexts and or to progress to further and or higher level studies. It also suits learners who wish to defer their college place for a year and acquire good IT skills to assist them in their future studies.

Students will attend work placement on a block basis. One of the great benefits of work experience is that it can lead to a full-time job. Work placement is arranged in business firms or professional offices.
