Resilience, organisation, and the ability to say ‘no’ are part of a job that gives access to other worlds – worlds most of us can only dream of being a part of.

Some jobs demand big egos, confidence, and the desire to be centre of attention. Being an Executive PA is not one of those roles. Being an Executive PA is one of the most challenging and hectic job roles imaginable, yet can also be one of the most rewarding, as you can gain access to places usually deemed off limits for us ‘normal’ folk.

This course will give you all the necessary skills to start a career as a personal assistant. You will learn about the industry, and what it takes to assist high level business people. This is the advanced version of our Executive PA package, and offers more depth of learning, with 2 extra courses included. This will give you a much wider range of skills when starting your role as an Executive PA.

If you are still deciding on a career path, being an Executive PA is an excellent choice, it can lead you into almost any industry in the world and gives you the chance to see how businesses operate, with a lot more insight than most other roles.

This Advanced Executive PA package builds on the Intermediate package and adds the Interpersonal Skills and Effective Planning and Scheduling courses, creating a far more skilled Executive PA at the end of tuition.
