AOSP Offers Certification At MAILCOM

Posted on February 20, 2020 by mailomg in memo 466, Uncategorized // 0 Comments

The Association of Office Services Professionals will offer its Office Service Professional Certification (OSPC) at MAILCOM 2020, March 30-April 1 in Atlantic City.

The Office Services Professionals Certification (OSPC) is a training and certification process for entry level, non-managers working in office services, support services and mail operations. It is aimed toward individuals with fewer than 3 years of industry experience seeking training in basic office services and functions, but it is also useful for anyone wanting to hone their professional skills.

This professional training and certification program can be taken as a standalone certification or as a first step in a career long certification process for those who might eventually pursue other industry certifications.

The Mission of the AOSP is to bring together office service professionals from industries involved with administrative services, distribution, logistics, shipping/receiving, domestic and international mail communications and more. The goal is to provide education and training opportunities that will allow personal and professional growth to members on a wide variety of topics and disciplines.

The subject matter was developed by a group of industry professionals who donated their time and expertise to bring this to The AOSP.
