This program is designed to provide you with a comprehensive view of the automated office that will be valuable for future employment. Current/popular software is utilized with individual classes. The program consists of six classes in the fall, which are each worth 3 college credit hours and 6 classes in the spring, which because of Dual Enrollment with Blue Ridge Community and Techncial College, are worth 3 credit hours each plus one class that is worth 1 credit hour and a summer class worth 3 credit hours, for a total of 40 college credit hours in one years time. This program lasts approximately eleven months from around the second week of August to the third week of June with several breaks in between. You are required to be in class everyday all day long with no more than 15 absences for the entire year to receive an Office Computer Technology Certificate. If for some unforeseen circumstances you cannot complete the program in one year, then you will be given a modified certificate and can make arrangements to come back and finish the program at a later time.
