The difference at Wintec is that students learn from tutors who have extensive experience as practising professionals in their field. At Wintec, we ensure that students develop the skills that they need to do the job.
You will spend most of your time on a computer using the latest version of Microsoft Office to learn advanced techniques in creating business documents such as reports and spreadsheets. You will also learn how to use MYOB; a software used widely across small businesses.
The final week of the programme is spent in a real office environment where you will be able to put your new skills into practice.
The Wintec Centre for Business and Enterprise provides a simulated office setting, which means you learn skills and knowledge within an environment that reflects a real-life office setting.
Our highly qualified, industry-experienced tutors will guide you through the latest versions of software such as Microsoft Office as well as introducing you to a range of relevant web-based tools and applications.
As part of the course, you will undertake a work placement in an organisation.
As a general guideline, you may be expected to attend Wintec up to 5-days-per-week (as a full-time student). You attend any time between 8am and 7pm, Monday through to Friday. The maximum in-class time required is 16-hours-per week. In addition, you are expected to complete some self-directed study and/or work placement hours.
By completing the Business 3 programme will be ready to work in office-related jobs such as a receptionist, office junior, administrator, records officer or data processor.
