There was a time when if you could drive a truck or type a letter you had all the qualifications you needed for a business career.  Times have changed and today we need far more complex skills and knowledge.  But along with the need for more skills comes a world of opportunities our parents never would have dreamed of.  Unskilled, repetitive labor is mostly a thing of the past. Instead our daily work is challenging, often technical, and always rewarding.  

Today’s business environment requires some basic core skills such as knowing your way around business software such as Microsoft Office to interpersonal skills such as customer service. From that foundation you can add other skills to develop a career in any direction you choose and any industry that intrigues you.   

The Academy of Learning has a wide range of excellent business courseware to create a solid foundation as well as advanced management and specialty skills.  Our Microsoft Office training takes you far above the average to the ‘MOS Expert’ level.  Our graduates quickly become the ‘go to’ person in the office for software knowledge.  Our Microsoft courseware is ‘approved’ by Microsoft for the MOS certification training and you can earn your MOS certification using our on-site testing station.     

Administrative business skills cover Business Correspondence, Punctuation and Grammar, Telephone Communication Skills, Entrepreneurship, Team Dynamics, etc.

Advanced business management training provides you with the stepping stones to climb the career ladder in any company.   Subjects include Law and Ethics, Negotiations and Contracts, Supervisory Skills, and Human Resource Management.  These courses are university level business courses and can be transferred for credit.

Whatever your short or long term goals, a foundation in business programs should be a part of your plan.
