CPC ACCREDITED • EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TRAINING DAY UK

EA & PA Strategy Training Day

For the EA or PA who is ready to
operate at a genuinely strategic level.

The EA and PA Strategy Training Day is the only executive assistant training day and personal assistant training day in the UK built specifically around operating as a genuine strategic partner, not a generic professional development course with your job title added as an afterthought. Delivered by Emily Partridge, Managing Director and Creator of eavolve®, with 15 years as a high-level EA and former global EA Manager.

LOCATION

Manchester & London

FORMAT

Full day, in-person

ACCREDITATION

CPD Accredited

INVESTMENT

£1,500 + VAT

GROUP SIZE

Intentionally small

Most EAs and PAs are operating well below their actual capability

Not because of a lack of skill. Because nobody has ever shown them how to operate differently.

The EA and PA role has evolved far beyond diary management and travel booking. The most effective executive support professionals today are strategic partners and people who anticipate, influence, and lead within their organisations. Yet the professional development available to them rarely reflects this reality.

Prefer 1:1 support instead of group training? Our EA and PA Career Coaching programmes work alongside this day for those who want both.

The EA and PA Strategy Training Day is a full-day in-person programme built entirely around closing that gap. It gives you the frameworks, the language, and the confidence to operate at the level the role now demands and whether you are supporting a FTSE 100 executive or a fast-growth founder. You leave having processed and applied, not just received. It is the most comprehensive executive assistant training day available from a UK specialist provider, and the only one built exclusively for EAs and PAs supporting senior leaders.

What the EA and PA Strategy
Training Day covers

Four areas of genuine, measurable transformation

STRATEGIC THINKING

01

From Reactive to Strategic

Learn how to anticipate your executive’s needs before they arise. Understand the business at a deeper level and position your contribution where it creates the most value, not just where it is most urgent.

EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP

02

Real Partnership

Move beyond task management into genuine strategic partnership. Develop the language, presence, and confidence to influence decisions and shape how your executive spends their time.

WORKLOAD AND PRIORITIES

03

Managing Complexity with Intention

Stop firefighting. Build a prioritisation framework that protects your executive’s focus and yours, even in high-pressure, fast-moving environments.

CAREER CONFIDENCE

04

Owning Your Professional Value

Articulate what you bring with clarity and confidence. Step into greater visibility and understand how to position your EA or PA career trajectory intentionally.

One day. One
investment.
A measurable shift.

Everything you need to operate at the level you already know you are capable of.

The EA and PA Strategy Training Day is CPD Accredited, runs in Manchester and London, and is the most comprehensive EA strategy training programme available from a UK specialist provider.

The business case for investing in your EA

The return on investment is stronger than most organisations realise.

When your EA operates more strategically, your executive gets better support, better protection of their time, and more space to focus on what only they can do. That is not a soft benefit. It compounds across every working day.

✓    Increases executive bandwidth through stronger strategic day-to-day support

✓    A tangible investment in EA and PA retention. High performers stay where they are developed.

✓    Reduces friction in the EA to executive relationship and fewer misaligned expectations

✓    Group format means multiple EAs can attend together, amplifying the impact across your leadership team

This day is for you if…

This EA and PA training day is for EAs and PAs who are ready for more.

✓You are an experienced EA or PA who knows you are capable of contributing more strategically but have never had the training or space to make that shift
✓You are supporting a C-suite or senior leader and the pace, complexity, and expectation has outgrown your current approach
✓You have attended EA or PA training before but left without anything that changed how you worked the following Monday
✓You want to be recognised as a genuine strategic partner, not just someone who gets things done efficiently
✓You are ready to invest a full day in your professional development and you mean it

The shift is real
