What you will learn

Administration efficiencies
The administration team can be crucial in ensuring the smooth running of an office or organisation. You help solve problems before others know they exist and you keep the wheels turning.

Managing compliance
Every business or organisation has rules that have been put in place to make sure that the entity operates smoothly and in compliance with rules and regulations. This course will help you to understand those issues and make sure that you know how to put systems in place that ensure compliance.

Clear communication is essential in a team environment – whether you are ensuring the roll out of smooth systems, handling customer enquiries or dealing with senior managers. With a qualification in administration and technology you will learn the skills required to ensure you communicate confidently and effectively.
