About the Executive Office Skills Certificate

In any given office, there are a number of systems and procedures in place to make sure things run smoothly.

This home learning course is made up of five informative units. These engaging modules aim to teach our learners all they need to know about working in an office environment. During the course of this distance learning qualification, students will learn about everything from customer service and personnel administration to communications and project management.
