"If I could take an admin related coursework, I would take a class to improve my typing speed. I currently type around 58 words per minute but would like to be in the higher 70 wpm range."

The interviewer would like to know that you have an interest in continued learning and education. There are many admin related courses available, whether they be online, at a community center, or your local college or university.
Your response could address new skills you wish to gain or existing skills that you would like to improve. How you reply could also give the interviewer an indication of your most significant interests when it comes to the scope of your administrative work.

"I believe that continued education is vital, so I do appreciate you asking this question. If I could take any admin related coursework, I would take a workshop on technical writing. Over the years, I have seen more admin work related to technical and business writing, such as preparing RFP's and RFQ's. I am confident in my existing skills; however, there is always room to improve."

Updated Answer - I would choose Microsoft Office Excel to expand my basic knowledge to advanced skills and Microsoft PowerPoint to learn to create presentations. I also wouldn’t mind learning some Accounting such as Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. This would benefit me and would allow me to grow and gain new experience and would also benefit my employer because I would be able to take on new responsivities.

Can you explain why you want to learn more about Excel's functions and creating presentations in PowerPoint? How will this benefit you and your future employer? You might also mention any steps that you've already taken to start learning in these areas. Good job!
