Learn the skills used in every modern workplace.

The mission of the Central Texas College Office Technology Department is to provide students a variety of educational programs with opportunities to prepare them for employment in professional and medical office careers.

Our stackable degree and certificates (“stackable” in that they build off one another in a sequential manner and deepen levels of applied learning along the way) are grouped into Office Technology Programs and Medical Office Technology Programs.

We offer classes in multiple formats to meet you where you are. The courses in these programs are offered in traditional (face-to-face and blended/on campus), online (Blackboard) and open-entry (Career and Technology Education (CATE) Center) delivery methods.

Many online training programs that claim to prepare students for national certification fall short of delivery on that promise. You can be confident that Office Technology's (OT) programs offer instruction from experienced faculty who prepare you for certification examinations and placement in the workforce.  Moreover, for every OT class you take, you receive college credit, which increases the likelihood of course transfer if you decide to further your education.

Career and Technology Education (CATE) Center

The CATE Center is a one of a kind learning experience designed to offer students the flexibility of online classes with the collaboration and support of traditional classes. If you need one more class after the semester starts, you can add a self-paced, open enrollment CATE course. Ask us for assistance. Check out the CATE for more information.
