Administrative Professionals
12 Normandale Continuing Education | 952-358-8343
An Administrative Professional needs more than just a “thank
you” once a year. Your field and professional development
needs are changing daily. The days of a clerk typist or
receptionist are long gone. Today’s indispensable administrative
professional is part event planner, project manager, gatekeeper,
technician, and all other duties as assigned!
Administrative Professional Certificate
The Administrative Professional Certificate offers two core
courses designed specifically to increase your confidence and to
help you prepare for more complex responsibilities and better
career opportunities. The four elective courses provide you with
an opportunity to develop the skills that you may need to enter
this field of work or to make yourself a more valued employee
in the ever-changing workplace.
CORE COURSES:
Achieving a Reputation of Administrative Excellence
Career growth comes in many forms, but often it is a direct result of
earning the trust and respect of others. When managers, coworkers,
customers and other associates believe in you and your abilities, job
responsibilities increase and career growth accelerates. Think and act
like a leader to achieve the career results that you want, need, and
deserve! .4 CEU, $99, INSTR: Erin O’Hara Meyer

Be the Designer of Your Career
The administrative professional field (executive assistant,
administrative assistant, receptionist, etc.) offers you the
opportunity to build a career, not just serve as a stepping stone to
other parts of the organization. This workshop will explore the
growing administrative professional field and empower you to take
charge of your own career development. You will examine previous
career choices and determine if a new career path is appropriate.

ELECTIVE COURSES:
Along with completing the two core courses, you will enroll in at

communication, project management, technology and creativity.
You will select four elective courses that match your professional
goals and interests. See website for a complete list.
CAREER COACHING:
When you have completed your core and elective courses, you
will receive one hour of professional career coaching. There is
no additional charge for the final step in earning your
Administrative Professional Certificate.
