The Indispensable Executive Assistant

At very senior levels, the return on investment from a skilled assistant can be substantial.

As a highly regarded Executive PA, you will act as a life-organiser to the senior management and company directors, anticipating their needs and ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. So to help you stay one step ahead, our Executive PA course has been designed to give you a broad range of skills to help you stand out and effectively get the job done.

This program is designed for:

Senior administrators, office managers, executive assistants and supervisors of junior staff who already possess the essential administration skills and seek to move their career further up.

A top-notch assistant “is crucial to being productive.”
