To meet this demand, MATC West will begin offering a 28-credit Bilingual Office Assistant Certificate this fall. The certificate program is intended for students who have taken at least three to four years of high school Spanish and who have a good command of English. Requirements include a high school diploma or GED from any country, and passing scores in both English and Spanish placement tests. The certificate program will train people to work in a variety of bilingual jobs, including office assistants, receptionists, administrative assistants, secretaries, data entry clerks, clerk typists, help desks and customer service. The certificate can be completed in two semesters.
Financial aid is available.
Credits can be applied toward associate degrees in office technology fields. MATC has an opportunity for you. The course begins August 30th. This type of instruction is becoming popular because it reduces travel time and child care costs, and allows flexibility in scheduling. Two courses in cleaning techniques will be offered consecutively.
