Description

The IEAA Accredited Finance for an EA Course allows learners to develop their knowledge of financial terms and interpret financial reports. This is a fundamental skill for any Executive Assistant who is reporting to C-level managers. A common issue is that C-level managers attend many managerial meetings, where the discussions are Financial. An understanding of the subject can build confidence and effectiveness in an EA role that supports C-level managers.  This is an optional advanced business skills option within the Level 5 Executive Assistant Diploma.

Course Format

All training is delivered online. Our courses are delivered in Virtual Classrooms and are led by an experienced Finance trainer. He has trained Senior EAs in a range of business skills across the globe. The training content and ability to speak to the trainer or your colleagues are similar to the live classroom experience.  The course is very practical and has numerous exercises to simulate work tasks. This helps to develop real job skills and prepares delegates to launch their careers.
