Admin Support Training
Three levels of training
Build skills to get a job or for further training through Lakeland's three levels of administrative support programs.
Bookkeeping, accounting and other office jobs are available - people with those skills are in demand.

Level one is an introduction to the business world where you start learning basic office skills.
You grow your skills in Level II.
Finally, gain more confidence in yourself and your software skills with our 17-week pre-administrative professional course. Your next step could be our administrative professional certificate.
