With training budgets stretched tightly today, it is important that your assistant receive the best training and the best value. This program is a content rich, intensive three-day workshop intended to explore and develop the organizational and interpersonal abilities of each participant.

To assist you in evaluating the alternatives and cut through the hype, please consider the following five advantages of our program:     

P.A. Douglas & Associates programs you are guaranteed:

 1. America's Original Event for Administrative Professionals

This comprehensive program has run continuously since the 1970's. More than 50,000 administrative professionals from virtually every major public and private organization in the USA have attended in that time. The praise this course has received over the past forty-seven years reflects the persistent research and subsequent revision which ensures that the program is at the cutting edge delivering what it promises.

 2. A True Limited Enrollment Educational Experience

This is NOT a conference in which your assistant will be crammed into a ballroom with hundreds of other people, to listen to a keynote speaker and be lectured to. Nor will your valued assistant be engaged in skits, line-dancing or similar nonsense. The 47th Annual Administrative Professionals Course is an experientially based, content rich workshop in which real skills are taught to complement your style and make your job run more smoothly.

 3. Taught By Academically Qualified Faculty

This course is taught by qualified faculty all of whom hold as a minimum, a Masters Degree from a fully accredited university and one or more professional qualifications.

 4. The Course Fee is Inclusive

One of the greatest benefits of attending a true limited enrollment residential program comes from the networking and camaraderie that takes place outside of the educational sessions. It is for this reason that, unlike other conferences and courses, where your assistant must find their own accommodations, arrange their own meals etc., the 47th Annual Administrative Professionals Course is inclusive.
