Um námið

The office school is a collaboration between Promennt/NTV and Framvegis-miðstöð símenntunar. The purpose of the course is to enhance the knowledge and increase the skills of those who do or intend to do general office work. The goal of the course is for students to acquire the skills needed to be able to do all-round office work with the help of the most common software and cloud solutions used in the labor market. In addition, students will gain good knowledge and learn how to do accounting. The program is also excellent preparation for further studies. The course focuses on teaching effective learning strategies to strengthen self-confidence and life skills. The program is funded by the Education and Training Service Centre (ETSC).

The office school is for people who have a short formal schooling behind them and it is possible to have the program evaluated for 18 credits at secondary school level. It is taught according to an approved curriculum from the Education Center for Employment. It is recommended to bring your own computer to the course.

Learning assessment

There are no formal exams, but great emphasis is placed on the instructor and participants reviewing what has been achieved as often as possible to promote continuous progress. At the same time, students do a final project in consultation with the teacher at the end of the program. To complete the course, attendance must be a minimum of 80% of the total number of lessons.

Admission Requirements

You must be 18 years old or older. Students who have not completed upper-secondary school will be given priority.

Study Structure
