The benefits for your career are countless as the course will enable you to access the most senior and sought after EA and PA roles and the opportunity to work alongside and learn from the most senior executives in business.

Who Should Attend

This qualification has been designed for experienced senior EAs & PAs wanting to master the more complex aspects of working with senior executives and taking a pro-active lead in managing their office and priorities.

Qualification Objectives

The objectives of this qualification include introducing students to more complex and technical business management and leadership theories, helping students to develop more advanced business skills and to develop their broader business acumen and industry knowledge and understanding.  The course develops much greater business administration and management understanding, a journey that should continue throughout their career. Ultimately, the goal is to help EAs learn how to analyse, assess and understand any challenges, threats or opportunities as they relate to their executive’s short, medium and long term strategies and goals, and assist with the development and then implementation of strategies, plans or procedures to overcome or counteract these. In achieving this, we will help EAs to become true partners in business with their executives.

The Only Role Specific EA Diploma Qualifications - Where is Your Career Headed?

The essence of the EA or PA role is to manage the office of their executive in a manner that facilitates them being as productive and effective as possible. This key facet is at the core of our training and development – and is reflected in the titles of our qualifications. EAs and PAs comprise a significant part of the Australian workforce, but prior to now, no formal qualifications have existed that were designed to address the specific needs of EAs and PAs at different stages in their careers.

Our two tiered qualifications are different and have been devised after many years extensive research within this area, and are specifically designed to ensure that they meet the changing needs of EAs & PAs, their executives and their broader organisations in relation to skills, knowledge, business acumen, and personal development. Irrespective of what stage you are at in your career, or even if you are hoping to break into a career as an EA or PA, we have a qualification suitable for you.


Own your development and master the critical thinking strategies of your executives

Unlike generalist business or management qualifications, ours are fully role specific, and have been designed around what EAs and PAs actually do or are expected to do. If you want to undertake study that is 100% relevant to your career as an EA or PA, no other qualifications exist that can assist you at any stage in your career. And as thought leaders in regards to the ongoing evolution of the EA or PA role, our qualifications will always remain at the forefront in terms of what is being expected in modern businesses.

Nationally Recognised Qualifications 

Representing over 7,500 EAs and PAs nationally, Executive Assistant Network through Executive Assistant Academy, is uniquely placed to not only offer qualifications others lack the industry and role based knowledge and understanding to deliver, but also to ensure that they are  recognised within the broader business community, both in Australia and across the region, for their unique, role specific benefits, for their intellectual and academic rigour, but also for their practical relevance. Upon successful completion students will receive a nationally recognised qualification.

Several hundred students have already either completed an Executive Assistant Academy qualification or are presently still studying.  Our goal is to ensure that our pathway qualifications are not merely just industry recognised, but soon become the industry standard.
