The Office Professional Certificate provides students with the critical skills to succeed in a dynamic office environment. We are proud of the relationships we have developed with business and industry that give our graduates excellent opportunities to enter and advance in careers such as administrative assistants, bookkeeping assistants, legal office assistants and general office receptionists.
More Than Just the Classroom
Our community partners have come to expect job-ready graduates who can make an immediate impact when they enter the workforce. For an Office Professional student, education goes beyond the classroom. Students get the opportunity to apply and demonstrate what they have learned in the classroom through:
- Accreditation opportunities and student competitions
- Credit toward professional designation

Our program provides students with a skill-set employers seek, as well as the opportunity to earn credit towards a professional designation and international accreditation.
