Employers hiring administrative assistants or secretaries for management positions often require more than one year of training. This program adds a second year of general education and business requirements to the one-year Office Technology programs. Completion of this two-year program allows you to seek work or transfer into a four-year college transfer program.

Additional developmental studies courses may be required before college English or mathematics can be taken.

Word processing and spreadsheet courses prepare you for Microsoft Office Specialist Certification testing.
