Summary
Excel in administration and develop your business admin and technology skills to succeed in dynamic office environments. Administrators are the backbone of organisations and have a vast array of responsibilities to keep operations running smoothly.
This programme will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to use business technologies, produce business documents, and perform a range of administrative tasks in today's multicultural workplaces. You learn from highly qualified tutors with extensive experience as practising professionals, and our hands-on approach will see you master data processing, file management, and digital admin tools, as well as contribute effectively within a team.
At the end of the semester, you will have the opportunity to put your learning into practice through work experience at a local business, gaining real-world insights and enhancing your employability.
What you will learn
Core and technical skills include:
- Business technologies and software in both cloud and desktop formats.
- Digital web-based tools and applications, like Microsoft Teams and conferencing platforms.
- Data processing, producing reports, creating spreadsheets and performing financial calculations.
- Customer service techniques to best meet stakeholder expectations.
- Working cooperatively within a team to contribute to the achievement of objectives.
- Written communication for business correspondence, documents, and emails.
- Administrative systems and processes such as meeting preparation, file storing, scanning, and copying.
Soft skills include:
- Professional and ethical behaviour in a socially and culturally responsible manner.
- Apply personal and interpersonal skills to contribute to the performance of the office.
- Problem-solving, decision-making and self-management.
Scheduling and workload
We offer both a traditional face-to-face teaching environment and a blended mode that combines a mix of online learning and in-person workshops.
As a general guideline, you are expected to attend classes up to 16 hours per week (as a full-time student). Scheduled classes are usually between 8am to 5pm. In addition, you are expected to complete some self-directed study and/or work placement hours.
Career/further opportunities
Graduates will be ready to work in roles such as receptionist, office junior, administrator, records officer, or data processor.
This course is also an excellent foundation for further business and accounting studies. Once complete, you can continue onto our New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5) programme.
