Learning that is relevant
The difference at Wintec is that you learn from highly qualified tutors with extensive experience as practising professionals in their field. We ensure that you develop the skills you need to enter the workplace.
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 and be introduced to a range of relevant web-based tools and applications.
As part of the course, you will undertake a work placement in an organisation where you can put your new skills into practice in a real office environment.
Scheduling and workload
We offer both a traditional face-to-face teaching environment and a blended mode that combines a mix of online learning and in-person workshops.
As a general guideline, you are expected to attend classes up to 16 hours per week (as a full-time student). Scheduled classes are usually between 8am to 5pm. In addition, you are expected to complete some self-directed study and/or work placement hours.
Career/further opportunities
By completing this programme, you will be ready to work in office-related jobs such as a receptionist, office junior, administrator, records officer or data processor.
