Description

The IEAA Accredited PA Diploma – Level 3 offers learners a training course that helps them develop a PA’s core skills. The Diploma has two main focuses that will build strong office administration qualities and Microsoft Office (IT) skills that will enable delegates to build successful careers as Assistants.

The PA Diploma is Level 3 in the IEAA’s qualification framework. This means you can continue studying to Levels 4 and 5 and build your career and earning potential.

Training Format

All training is delivered online. There are two modules. The PA Certificate is provided in Virtual Classrooms and is led by an experienced PA and Office Administration trainer.

This helps to develop real job skills and prepares delegates to launch their careers.

The other module is the Microsoft Office Diploma for a PA. This interactive online training programme is provided in partnership with Microsoft Platinum Partners. This module is a flexible study schedule. You can start at any time and study when you would like.
