The office team will depend on you and the excellent skills you develop. If you’re presently working or in a job search, this program can help you greatly improve your skills and performance — even exceed expectations!

This technical certificate is included as an option within the Office Software Applications Adminstration degree program. Students may choose to pursue an A.S. or A.A.S. degree and earn technical certificates while completing the requirements for the degree, or pursue one or more certificate programs to develop or upgrade their skills in a particular field.
