Description

Microsoft Office is key to the role of many office jobs, but it is Word that is the most fundamental to roles of Administrators, Secretaries and PAs. Well-formatted and presented letters, memos and other documents are largely dependent on your ability to use Word effectively. The majority of employers will demand proficiency in this program.
We are partnered with Microsoft Platinum Partners and a Microsoft Certified Academy. This means that we use the latest technology to provide Microsoft Office Training.
