In today’s challenging business climate, one thing is certain – every FSTE 100 company executive has a personal assistant (PA). Why? Because behind every great business story, there’s a great PA. PAs are the eyes, ears and the glue that holds the best managers together by eliminating inefficiencies and contributing to overall business success. PAs are intuitive, proactive and reliable and they’re adept at problem-solving, multi-tasking and providing observations and insights into the business. If you have these key traits, every business owner wants you now! If not, our Personal Assistant Course teaches you the skills and qualities required for a long career in this role.

Personal assistants enjoy a varied day. It’s not just administration, arranging meetings and booking travel. As the role develops and you gain more experience, you could be running corporate events, organising marketing campaigns, and arranging global webcasts. Experienced PAs can also move into Executive PA (EA) roles for top bosses, which can lead to even greater career opportunities. If this sounds exciting to you, why not start your journey with our personal assistant course from home, which teaches you the essentials, such as diary management, duties of the role, business networking, business travel and how to get a role as a personal assistant.
