Essential skills for administrators

(Former name: Administration: essential skills for administrators)

Course summary

In any organisation, the administration team has the biggest variety of responsibilities. It has to be constantly flexible and responsive to the needs of management. The administration team is the face of the organisation as they can be the first point of contact for clients. Though the clerical and office skills of the team are often overlooked, the best admin assistants can make themselves stand out by being proactive and efficient.
