Worth paying for a certificate?, office manager here

I am considering a short certificate to improve my chances as an office manager. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I would like to use funding if possible. Is there free funding?

Ask the course provider how many graduates get jobs and where. Honest providers can tell you.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
