Course objectives
At the most basic level a secretary may need only a good command of the prevailing office language and the ability to type, and may spend a large part of his or her time filing and fetching papers (or the equivalent regarding electronic files and database information) or answering telephones.
- A more skilled secretary may be required to take dictation by writing in shorthand at spoken-language rates, type at high speeds using technical or foreign languages, organise diaries, itineraries and meetings and carry out administrative duties which may include accountancy. An executive secretary may also control access to a manager, thus becoming an influential and trusted aide.
