Description
Personal assistants need to be born negotiators, great communicators and highly organised. As a personal or executive assistant, you will be responsible for looking after the day-to-day operations of a high-level executive or successful business person. You could be wearing many different administrative hats such as receptionist, typist, personal shopper, itinerary manager and event organiser. You'll also need great organisational skills to ensure the boss's day runs smoothly and top-class computer skills for writing reports and spreadsheets.
Our Personal Assistant certificate course prepares you for your new career as a PA. Often, you will be the first person that clients meet, either in person on receptionist duty, or on the phone.
You represent your boss and the brand. So you need to know how to always make a great impression. You may have to arrange tasks for other office staff such as the receptionist or office junior to ensure they are on-brand too.
Our course can help you find your first job as a personal assistant or virtual assistant, or get a promotion from receptionist or secretary to PA.
Find out what’s in store for you as a Personal Assistant by studying our self-paced certificate course now.
How is the Personal Assistant (PA) course assessed?
There is a short multiple choice exam at the end of each module for you to take and you’ll know your score immediately.
By studying the PA online course with IOA, you do not pay an extra fee for sitting an exam or have to wait for a set date to sit an exam.
