Advanced Administration
This course is designed to allow the learner gain advanced knowledge and skills in the general area of office management and leadership. The course aims to build on the solid foundation provided on completion of the Level 5 Administration Award with the addition of Business Law and Human Resource Management. Students also benefit from Payroll training, which places them in an excellent position to take up more senior administration roles in both the public and private sectors. Here’s what one of our recent graduates has to say:
“My time at Rathmines College has been a great and memorable experience. It is an experience that I will never forget or regret. I studied the Advanced Certificate in Administration Level 6 course. This course has helped me learn a lot. I have learned functions on word and excel that I didn’t know before, my interpersonal skills have improved greatly and the fact that I have done work experience thanks to this course, makes me feel more confident going out into the world of work. The lecturers are friendly, very helpful and easy to talk to. There are clubs that one can join and social events that take place year-round. I highly recommend doing a course at Rathmines College.”
