Course Outcomes

This business course will equip you for several different roles in a wide range of workplace environments. You will have the skills to work productively in a team, support and work inclusively with colleagues, communicate with others in the workplace, write documents, create presentations, complete projects, organise schedules, manage resources and customers, and more. 

Administration Officer

From scheduling important meetings to putting together weekly reports, administration officers are often the glue that holds an office together. You will also be responsible for tasks such as managing office supplies, updating databases, organising documents and policies, and printing/photocopying.

Administrative Assistant

Everything in its place and a place for everything. As an administrative assistant or secretary, you will be tasked with filing and sorting documents. You will also be a key person in the organisation with responsibilities including scheduling appointments and supporting your colleagues with clerical jobs.

Personal Assistant

Working closely with a senior member of staff, you will play an essential role in ensuring all emails, phone calls, meetings, travel plans, and appointments are scheduled appropriately and run smoothly.

Receptionist

As a receptionist, you will be the face of the business – the first person to welcome and guide customers or clients when they arrive on the premises. You may also act as the repository for all general information about the business in order to best answer enquiries in person, via email, and over the phone.

Records Clerk

Records clerks are responsible for managing, organising and retrieving files as required. Other tasks may include preparing documents for storage, verifying documents prior to archiving, and destroying records when needed.

Word Processing Operator

You will be the person colleagues go to when they need documents created. Using computer software (e.g. Microsoft Word), you will write, edit, print and archive various files for the business.
