As an administrative professional, you need to have much more than traditional “secretarial skills” to function in today’s office environment. Practical tools and education to navigate through the difficult situations that you face at work are essential. What’s more, you need to keep a positive attitude while juggling multiple tasks. In this popular class, we’ll provide you with the tools necessary to organize yourself to realize your full potential. You’ll learn a commonsense approach to time management, understand how to reduce stress in the work environment, and go back to your job with the confidence to communicate assertively. You’ll also walk away knowing how to successfully manage projects, interact effectively with customers, and work effectively as part of a team.

During this class, you’ll use group discussion and exercises to fully immerse yourself in these topics, as well as learn ways to set new standards and push the limits of your job. Our expert instructor will take you through the basics of Microsoft® Excel and Outlook. You’ll get an in-depth look at writing and editing documents in Microsoft® Word and explore features that will help you create documents for any task in a timely manner.

Return to work ready to face your daily challenges head-on with confidence and ease. Get ready to take the next step in your career.
