Office Assistant

About this programme

Office Assistant is a sector-specific MBO 3 diploma route with five examined modules: office practice, advanced Word/Outlook, Excel, minute-taking and Dutch business correspondence. The route focuses on the hub role in an office: managing calendars and mailboxes, preparing meetings and taking minutes, producing polished documents and templates, and handling business letters. You study module by module and sit an examination for each one; together the certificates form the MBO 3 diploma in the LOMAS register.
