Allied Business Schools

Administrative Assistant

Rather than performing a single specialized task, administrative assistants often have daily responsibilities that change with the needs of the specific job and the employer. Whereas some administrative assistants spend their days filing or typing, others enter data at a computer terminal. They also can be called upon to operate photocopiers, fax machines, and other office equipment; prepare mailings; proofread copies; and answer telephones and deliver messages.

The specific duties assigned to an administrative assistant vary significantly, depending upon the type of office in which he or she works. An administrative assistant in a doctor's office, for example, would not perform the same tasks that one in a large financial institution or in the office of an auto-parts wholesaler would perform. Although they may sort checks, keep payroll records, take inventory, and access information, administrative assistants also perform duties unique to their employer, such as organizing medications, making transparencies for a presentation, or filling orders received by fax machine.

With Allied's Administrative Assistant Program you will learn how to effectively run and maintain the front office of any business. You will also learn comprehensive computing skills that you will use throughout your career. Allied's Administrative Assistant Program will teach you the skills and techniques necessary to become a top-rated professional in business administration.

In addition to comprehensive administrative training, Allied's Administrative Assistant Program also includes comprehensive Microsoft Office Professional training. To learn more about this program, complete free information request form. [ more info ]
