About the Office Manager Diploma

What does an office manager do?

From administrative jobs to managerial responsibilities, office managers ensure various office operations run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. This typically involves juggling multiple tasks throughout the working week, such as conducting job interviews, managing payroll and organising company events.

Office managers are responsible for managerial tasks, such as hiring staff and forming financial projections, whereas office administrators lead only on office-based tasks, such as reconciling accounts.

What qualifications do I need to be an office manager?

While no formal office manager qualifications are required to become an office manager, those who study office management training enjoy a competitive advantage during the application stage.
