MS Office Automation
Build workplace-ready proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — the core productivity suite every office role in Ghana expects you to know.
Overview
Microsoft Office remains the productivity backbone of offices across Ghana — from banks and NGOs to government agencies and small businesses. The MS Office Automation course at DIT delivers practical, hands-on training in the three applications every employer expects staff to use confidently: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Rather than a theoretical overview, this course is built around the real documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that professionals produce daily — letters, reports, budgets, schedules, and client-facing presentations.
Who It’s For
This course is designed for:
- School leavers and fresh graduates preparing to enter the workforce
- Administrative and support staff who need to strengthen core office skills
- Small business owners who manage their own paperwork, invoicing, and reporting
- Anyone returning to work after a break and needing a refresher on modern Office tools
No prior software experience is required. A preliminary understanding of basic computer operation is helpful but not mandatory — this is a beginner-friendly, career-oriented course.
Curriculum Outline

Capstone Exercise Participants complete a mini office project: a formatted report, a working budget spreadsheet, and a presentation deck, demonstrating end-to-end competence across the suite.
