Office Administration Certificate

The Office Administration Certificate is a 35-week program that prepares students for immediate employment in general office and administrative support roles across business, government, and non-government organizations. Coursework builds practical skills in word processing, spreadsheets, business communication, and office procedures used in a modern office environment. The program is delivered through synchronous online learning, so students attend live scheduled classes remotely rather than working through self-paced material. It concludes with a three-week practicum placement that gives students hands-on workplace experience before graduation. Graduates are prepared for entry-level administrative support positions such as receptionist, administrative assistant, or office clerk. The certificate is offered by Portage College.
