Brushing up office skills

I took voluntary redundancy recently from a job that wasn't in an office/admin and didn't involve any computer or office skills. I worked for the Civil Service over 20 years ago, but it was all inputting figures into what was then called a VDU, and I've never learnt about spreadsheets, powerpoints, etc. I also used to deal with letters and phone calls, which probably hasn't changed much.

If I wanted to apply for office/admin jobs now would I stand a chance? Would it be better to try to get some training first, and if so, is there any particular training that would be useful? I've got a degree in something completely unrelated (and not very useful in the real world), but I don't mind doing a "lower" qualification if it will make me more employable.
