Why Do This Course

Handle the Money Side

Records, transactions, reporting and payroll, in order.

Pick Your Own Speed

Twelve months or eighteen. The units stay the same.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Finance admin sits in every business that pays people. A day is invoices, reconciliations, payroll runs and reports for the boss.

Office Manager

Run the office and watch the money side.

Administrative Team Leader

Lead a small admin team day to day.

Program and Project Administrator

Track budgets and paperwork on a project.

Administration Assistant

Support the office with records and accounts.
