BELLEVUE COLLEGE CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT: Administrative Assistant--Business Technology Systems

Updated to reflect Common Course Numbering, effective Summer 2008

What is it?

The Business Technology Systems Program emphasizes the technological changes occurring in the office, where employment opportunities increase dramatically for those who are computer competent and skilled in operating a variety of software applications.  Certificate programs enable students to become computer literate, gain competency working with the most current business software applications, and learn to perform office functions.  Credits earned in the certificate programs may be applied toward the office manager degree. The Administrative Assistant program is now available online, and you can complete courses completely online or in combination with traditional on-campus classes at Bellevue College. 

Cost per class:

The program requires application to Bellevue College to obtain a Bellevue College student number, quarterly registration and payment of tuition, course fees, books and/or software for each class.  Please review the “What Will It Cost” page on the Distance Education Website for current information on tuition and fees.  If you qualify for the US Citizen/Permanent Resident tuition as noted in the middle column, you must contact the Distance Education Office or the Registrar’s Office for this reduced tuition.  After you register for classes, you must call to verify eligibility each quarter in order to have your final costs manually adjusted, otherwise you will be charged the higher non-resident tuition.  Questions about tuition and fees?  Give the Distance Education Office a call at 425-564-2438 or toll-free at 1-877-641-2712.
