This Administrative Excellence for Secretaries and Administrators online training course is designed to give delegates a better understanding of the ‘people skills’ and ‘individual skills’ which are needed in a business environment and which can help them develop their existing competencies into superior skills.

This GLOMACS online training course focuses on:

• The ‘HOW?’ - using critical skills and behaviour to develop personal competencies
• The ‘WHAT?’ - developing task competencies needed to achieve successful process delivery
• Building on your existing personal knowledge and skills-set
• Giving you a better understanding of how you and your colleagues might work together more effectively in any office environment
• The production of a follow-up action plan which can help you implement new skills back at work

The seminar is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Developing Core Skills for
