Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Every Organisation Has This Job

Someone books the meetings, chases the invoices and keeps the files findable. Trades, clinics, schools and councils all need it.

Software Is the Sorting Line

Job ads name Excel, Xero and MYOB. Being able to say yes to all three moves your application up the pile.

A Base You Can Build On

Admin is where a lot of people start before moving into bookkeeping, HR or operations.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Administration work splits two ways: sitting inside one team and running its day, or floating across a business and holding the systems together. Either way the day is email, scheduling, records, invoices and the software that carries them. It suits people who would rather be relied on than noticed.

Business Administrator

The whole desk, across one organisation.

Office Coordinator

Scheduling, suppliers and the room bookings.

Operations Assistant

Keeping a process moving day to day.

Customer Service Administrator

The paperwork behind every enquiry.

Records Management Officer

Filing that someone can find again.

Sales Support Administrator

Quotes, orders and follow up for a sales team.

Project Support Officer

Documents, minutes and the tracking sheet.

Office Services Coordinator

Facilities, supplies and the small fires.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every workplace is different and some roles ask for further study or experience first.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need office experience to start?

No experience and no prior study are required. The course assumes you have not used Excel, Xero or MYOB before.

What does it cost each week?

From $29 a week on a plan, with no deposit and no credit check. An advisor confirms current pricing.

How much software is in it?

A lot. Word, Excel and PowerPoint come first, then payroll and accounts work inside MYOB and Xero.

Can I study while working full time?

Yes. It is self paced with no class times and no set start dates, so most people work through it after hours.

Is this course accredited?

It carries a Certificate of Achievement, and the college holds accreditation through ICOES and the CPD Standards Office along with membership of the International Approval and Recognition Council. That is industry standing. The college is not an RTO and the course is not nationally recognised. In admin hiring, the first question is usually whether you can drive the software, which is what this teaches.

How long does it take?

Around one hundred and forty hours across six months of access. Evenings and weekends are enough.

Are there exams?

No exams, ever. Tasks sit inside the topics as you work through them.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee runs from enrolment.
