General Information About OACP Levels
Each level is comprised of courses to support your career pathway as an office administrative professional at the Calgary Board of Education. An additional number of recommended courses have also been identified to supplement your understanding and knowledge and enhance your learning experience and success.
Students are able to register in and complete courses in any of the levels, assuming that prerequisites are met.
