Advanced Diploma in Software Applications (with Microsoft Office Specialist)
Course Aims
This course is designed to train students to the highest level in all aspects of the Microsoft Office suite of programs. Achieving this qualification demonstrates mastery of the main application programs. It would be suitable for students who wish to use these programs at an advanced level, or perhaps who wish to teach these applications. Indeed, we have found in the past that students who have completed the JEB teaching qualification use this course to augment their qualification. (Students who complete this course, and have a teaching qualification, are entitled to the award of Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor).
