Diploma in Office Management and Computer Applications

This diploma gives you a practical grounding in both office management and computer applications, two skills that go together in almost every workplace. It is a good option if you want a straightforward route into administrative work after school. Entry is less competitive than many university courses, making it an accessible choice for SHS leavers.

What this programme teaches

Programmes of this kind usually cover the practical routines of office work: handling correspondence, keeping records, managing schedules, and supporting meetings. The computer applications side builds skills in word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. The aim is to prepare you to step into an office and do the job effectively, not just to pass exams.

How competitive is entry

This is a less competitive programme. That means the demand for places is lower than for courses like medicine or law, so if your WASSCE results satisfy the general entry requirements for a diploma, you have a good chance of admission. The published additional requirement lists Kumasi, so check with the admissions office what it involves.

Where this qualification leads

Graduates of such programmes typically move into administrative and clerical roles. They work as secretaries, office assistants, records officers, or data entry staff in companies, government offices, and institutions. The combination of office management and computer skills makes it easier to adapt to modern workplaces where every job involves software.
