Office Secretaryship

It is novelty in the academic milieu in Cameroon. In the past it was mostly reserved for women equipped with type writers employed to type the letters and correspondences of the boss. However, with time it has mutated from the street to the classroom wherein students are given course work in typing, word processing and spreadsheet, etiquette for dealing with clients and visitors, answering of telephone calls, responding to emails, communication, among others.

With the passage of time, office secretaries have become the faces of offices and bureaus as they sit at the front desk welcoming every visitor be it online or physically. Courses taught include communication, language, politics and government, reception communication, typing, drafting of administrative mails etc.

The programme runs for one year and sanctioned by a Diploma in Office Secretaryship recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training. It is opened to holders of at least a GCE Ordinary Level. However, candidates with higher certificates who wish to enrich their CV or reinforced their capacities are also admitted.

Employment Opportunities

Graduates can work in any office in Cameroon and around the world. Wherever people meet for goods and services, office secretaries are demanded. It may be in a school, university, company, NGO, organization, business organization, government institution, diplomatic mission and embassies etc.
