How to Work with Your Manager

Why take this course?

Executive personal assistants perform routine clerical and administrative duties. They organize files, prepare documents, schedule appointments, and support other staff.


The key difference between an Executive PA and a regular PA is that Executive Personal Assistants work with higher level managers.


Generally, this will mean working with CEOs, as well as various other company directors and high-level staff.


As most administrative tasks are taken for granted at this level, the main focus of their job involves taking initiative and complete control over their workload.


Executive PAs usually work:

  • in a corporate setting

  • spend much of their time on a computer

  • a college education isn’t required for this position, but …

  • employers increasingly prefer to hire those who have completed some training.

Certain skills, such as time management and attention to detail, will be a given for almost all Executive PAs.

There are many advantages of the career path, including increased exposure to senior management, as well as more varied work experience.

For example, you may get the chance to organize events or manage larger projects, and work with other areas of the business, such as the product or digital marketing teams.


Many Executive Personal Assistants are even finding that this exposure is opening more doors to move into other high-earning careers, and go on to become Product Assistants and Project Managers as a result of their Executive PA experience.


So, do you think this is a career for you? If yes, let’s get started.

Its a recorded training, and although grateful for the audio - it is not very interactive. So far, nothing new... but I am hopeful.

The content is great and is providing useful information. However, the speakers inflections makes it difficult to focus on what’s being said.

the course was not bad for me, didn't learn that much but each person has his own situation..good course for the individuals who don't have any idea about being a personal assistant.

I am sorry, but this course is very boring, and offers only basic office instructions. Not worth the time or money.

This course was very informative! Some of the sentences were off in the script but overall its not hard to follow along and take notes. If you're looking for an entry of what an executive assistant is about this is the course for you.

Its a normal course, There is no detail videos in this course, I know the price is low but it has to be something

Der Kurs ist sehr gut aufgebaut und man bekommt einen Einblick in Aufgaben, die man schon ausführen durfte im Beruf, aber wo es noch andere Möglichkeiten der Ausführungen gibt. Für Arbeitnehmer mit schon Erfahrung in einer ähnlichen Stellung, ist der Kurs sehr hilfreich. Ob es Ausreicht nur durch die Videos eine Stelle als Executive Personal Assistant zu bekommen, sei dahin gestellt. Aber hilfreich für andere Einstiegsmöglichkeiten. PDF Dateien mit den Kursen wäre hilfreich.

It was all slides rather than an actual person guiding you on a video. I was also not a fan of her voice.

This course has helped me to understand what an executive personal assistant is expected in her job scope and the skills to be acquired.
