Office Administration

All Office Administration courses will be offered virtually in the fall 2020 semester. We are hoping to continue with face-to-face courses during the winter 2021 semester. 

Office Administration is a full-time program that prepares graduates for positions in the office administration field.

There are two certificates: Accounting Clerk certificate (offered at Ayamdigut Campus) and Administrative Assistant certificate (offered via Distance Learning or at Ayamdigut Campus), that provide specialized training for accounting and administrative assistant positions respectively. Extensive training in communications, administrative procedures, computer applications and accounting prepares graduates for employment in today’s automated office. Hands-on learning is emphasized.

Students will work (through a field placement) in a local business or government office for one month during the program. Student learning is assisted through lectures, class discussions, group work, assignments, lab sessions and fieldwork.

• Math 10 (min. 65%) and English 10 (min. 65%)

A typing speed of 25 net w.p.m is recommended.

All courses in the Administrative Assistant stream of the Office Administration program are available through Distance Learning using web-conferencing or online courses.  Students may participate in classes from home, any of our Yukon University campuses, or other off-campus locations.
