Introduction

Office Administration is a course aimed at the student who would like to obtain a qualification in the administration of the office environment. Students gain practical and theoretical experience in office-based activities. They spend a minimum of two hours a week in our Simulated Enterprise where they get the opportunity to get hands-on experience of all administrative functions they will encounter in a job environment. In their final year (Level 4) our students undergo at least 5 days of work placement to gain practical experience in the “real world”. This qualification also allows access to further studies where Gr. 12 or Level 4 is stated as minimum entrance requirements.

General

The full course consists of 21 subjects (7 on each level), i.e. 3 Fundamental subjects, 3 Core subjects plus one Elective. See Curriculum for subjects.
