This course is one of five courses in the Office Administrator stream of the Municipal Government Certificate Program (MGP).  The purpose of the MGP is to provide skills for staff in municipal governments.

Administrative support includes the work done by receptionists, typists, data entry clerks, bookkeepers and others working in municipal government organizations.  Other community organizations are also supported through the Nunavut Arctic College and MTO mandate of capacity building in communities.

The course is designed as a reference that will be supported by other resources chosen by instructors to meet the needs of course participants in specific Nunavut communities and regions.  This course provides the basic concepts for a solid foundation in such topics as cash and deposits, purchases and payments and sales and receipts.  The learning exercises in the course will also help participants practice their skills in these areas.
