Just curious to as what is better. Office Admin Cert, or office Admin diploma?
The office Admin cert, has a 1st and 2nd semester.
The Office admin Diploma, has 1st,2nd,3rd,4th Semester
Each semester of each ranges from $3,600-$4,600

Certificate: A document certifying that a person may officially practice in certain professions.
Diploma: A document issued by an educational institution, such as a university, testifying that the recipient has earned a degree or has successfully completed a particular course of study.
So it is sounding like people will recognize both but will see a diploma as a further and more in depth understanding of the subject. The real question is, what more is offered in the courses for Admin diploma that is not offered in the admin Certification.

get the diploma, no matter what, a lot of place will look for that four year degree before certificate unless it specifically job related.
That four year degree will get you places where certicates will not, even if its not job related.

I'd also recommend the diploma if you have the money to spare. It may just push you above another job seeker with otherwise the same background and qualifications.
