Diploma Outline

PA courses can truly change lives - an Executive PA Diploma from Pitman Training is recognised both nationally and internationally. This is PA Training which will upgrade your skills whether you're already in the role at a lower level or you aspire to become an Executive PA.

As an Executive PA, you will have highly-developed IT and office skills - and during our training, you will find that your confidence grows with your abilities. And you'll be able to apply your new-found knowledge every day. You will fulfil a role as a highly-focussed individual in a demanding and rewarding position. As a 'life organiser' to senior management or company directors you'll be working unsupervised in a highly-pressured environment - one which our PA Diploma will fully equip you for.

This PA Diploma is flexible, so you can learn at a pace which suits you. For those moments when you need extra support, our experienced course advisors will be there to help. And along with your new-found skills, you'll take away a workbook as a handy reference guide.
