The Office Support Specialist certificate program offers students training in the latest technological advances in order to keep skills current, as well as provide those traditional job skills needed for re-entry into the office job markets.
The Office Support Specialist certificate includes courses in keyboarding, transcription and written communication. It also includes the use of the microcomputer and in-depth training on popular software packages such as Word, Access and Excel.
Basic keyboarding is a skill necessary for successful course completion in the OST program; therefore, OST 105-Keyboarding is a prerequisite course for most OST courses. Students are required to take OST 105-Keyboarding or score 25 net words per minutes (nwpm) on the keyboarding placement test.
Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all of the courses offered within the Business and Information Systems Technology departments for the grade to be counted toward graduation. Specifically, these include courses with the following prefixes: ACC, BAF, BUS, CPT, CRP, EGR, HUS, IST, LEG, MGT, MKT and OST.
Students must meet all exit program competencies for graduation from this program.
