Diploma in Office Admin

Overview

Special Notice: From 2006

The Cambridge International Diploma in Office Administration has been withdrawn. After 31 December 2005 entries from new candidates for the Diploma in Office Administration will not be accepted. Any candidates who have already made module entries by this date must complete all modules within three years of the successful completion of the first module entered. Entries will not be accepted after 31 December 2008.

Good administrative and secretarial skills are the foundation of many occupations. The Cambridge International Diploma in Office Administration enables students to develop theoretical and practical understanding of these skills in a variety of key areas. The qualification is available at Foundation, Standard and Advanced Levels.

A flexible course, the Diplomas comprise a number of short course modules which are both easy to deliver and to study. This design allows employees to drop in and out of the course as required, enabling them to study subject areas of most immediate relevance.

Scheme of Assessment

Modules are assessed on demand via a task provided by Cambridge and taken under controlled conditions, with the exception of three of the Optional modules. Candidates who successfully complete modules at any Level will be able to demonstrate understanding of the key areas as indicated. The guidelines for assignments are set by Cambridge but allow students to adapt study to their local context.
