Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Get Your First Office Job

You need no experience to start. You do not have to know Excel, MYOB or Xero first. The course begins at the beginning and builds from there.

Feel On Top Of The Work

Already doing the admin for a team? This is the ground under it. Office systems, writing that gets read, time management, and the work manners nobody sits you down and explains.

Do The Admin For Your Own Business

If the paperwork for your own work lands on you, this covers it. The accounts and pay basics in MYOB and Xero, plus the filing and the safety side.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Every business needs someone who keeps it in order. That is why office work turns up in every industry there is. The work is easy to picture: the diary and the inbox, bills in and out, meeting notes, the safety file, and the spreadsheet that holds it all together.

Business Administrator

The whole desk: systems, writing, files, and the software the office runs on.

Customer Service Administrator

The front of the business. Clear writing and a tidy system do most of the work.

Executive Assistant (Junior)

Diaries, documents and meeting papers for someone whose week is full.

Records Management Clerk

Filing and keeping the paperwork in an order other people can follow.

Project Support Administrator

Notes, trackers and the spreadsheet behind a project. It keeps everyone on the same page.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Manager and coordinator titles tend to go to people with a few years of office work behind them.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience to start?

None needed. There are no entry rules to get in. You are not expected to know Excel, MYOB or Xero first. The course starts from the basics.

What does it cost each week?

The payment plan is $29 a week, with no deposit and no credit check. You can pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront in one payment. Enquire for the full options.

How long does the course take?

Around 140 hours at your own pace, with 6 months of access. You can start today and go at the speed your week allows.

Are there exams?

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. That is a different thing. For office and admin work it is no barrier: employers hire on whether you can run the diary, the files and the spreadsheet.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 10-day money back guarantee. If it is not right, you get your money back.
