Options for Existing Students in the Certificate in Office Applications
University of Calgary Continuing Education is constantly developing and refreshing curriculum in recognition of the emerging and evolving demands of today's markets.
Recently we have recognized that our existing Certificate in Office Applications is in need of an update, and that our students will be better served by two new Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Office Specialist (3 courses, 90 hours) and Microsoft Modern Workplace and Productivity Tools (3 courses, 42 hours).
The Certificate in Office Applications has been discontinued as of June 2024.
What are my options?
Students admitted to the Certificate in Office Applications have the option to transfer to the Microsoft Office Specialist (90 hours) program.
