Program overview

This module introduces the routines and entry-level duties found in a basic office through a structured, simulated workplace. You will build administrative, digital, organisational and communication skills while learning to complete work carefully and with increasing independence. It provides an office-focused pathway for learners interested in administration, clerical support or other organised workplace settings.
