How to become a Secretary/ Office Administrator

There are many short courses like a diploma in Office Administration or a course in Front office management. You need to have passed the 10+2 examinations in order to be eligible for these courses. Secretarial courses specifically aimed at graduates are available often through private colleges. Relevant experience is often more highly valued than specific secretarial qualifications, although excellent IT skills are always an added advantage.
