Program overview
The College Certificate - Office Administration - General (OAG1) is a 1 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Administrative professionals remain the operational backbone of every workplace, and this one-year certificate builds the toolkit directly: business software mastery, document production, records, scheduling and workplace communication. It is the fastest office-employability credential Fanshawe offers, with executive and health-services diplomas as the ladder.
Scale is the quiet advantage here: specialised facilities, a vast alumni network and a co-op office with real employer reach, in a city thousands of dollars cheaper per year than the big metros.
Registered in the field of CIP 52.0401 (Office administration), the program falls under the post-2024 field-of-study test; re-verify eligibility on Fanshawe’s list and IRCC’s current CIP list at application time.
