About This Award

Our Medical Office Award is a course that gives you the grounding for entering the medical profession, providing you with the essential skills to work in a medical office.

Stop trying to make sense of medical jargon via all the text books you’re ploughing through, and let us help you. With training advisors on hand, as well as workbooks to use as reference this is a great way to get under the skin of a quite complicated industry.

This course enables you to take things at your own pace, as we get to grips with medical jargon, terminology and documents. Working through the different modules you’ll start to make sense of the terminology and understand how it’s constructed, so you can hold your own at any interview and you’ve got a great grounding for your first job in this field.
