Certified Office Management Professional (COMP)

About the Course

Office management requires the coordinated control of administrative systems, workplace resources, information, service providers, facilities, expenditure, technology, and operational support processes. Office managers must establish effective operating procedures, allocate resources, maintain service continuity, control administrative expenditure, oversee vendors and facilities, protect organisational information, and monitor whether office services meet defined requirements. Increasing reliance on digital platforms, cloud-based information environments, automated workflows, hybrid working arrangements, and AI-assisted processes has further expanded the technical and control responsibilities associated with managing modern offices.

This interactive 5-day Certified Office Management Professional (COMP) training course develops the capabilities required to manage office operations as an integrated business-support function. Delegates will strengthen their ability to establish office operating frameworks, manage administrative service delivery, plan resources and budgets, administer procurement and service providers, coordinate facilities and workplace requirements, control records and information, and evaluate office performance. It also examines digital office systems, workflow automation, AI-assisted administration, information governance, asset and inventory controls, expenditure monitoring, vendor performance, workplace risk, business continuity, service-level requirements, performance indicators, and operational improvement. Delegates will apply structured management and control methods to strengthen office efficiency, accountability, service reliability, resource utilisation, and operational resilience.
