Overview
Protocol Officers, Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Secretaries, Office Support Staff, and Care Providers, support their employer or boss in a variety of tasks and duties, helping to increase their effectiveness, improve executive impact, achieve independence (have better control over their life) as well as support the overall achievement of the goals and objectives of the boss’s roles and responsibilities in business, public service, family, among others. In fact, they contribute a lot to their boss’s productivity!
Today’s Protocol Officers, PAs, and Support Staff are required to take on more challenging roles and manage multiple duties such as make complicated travel arrangements, manage boss’s diary and itineraries, prepare papers for meetings, execute and delegate work on the boss’s behalf, attend events and meetings on the boss’s behalf, manage and respond to boss’s emails, write or prepare presentations and other communication materials, render reports and minutes of meetings, organize events, prepare documents and manage files, conduct research, manage projects, supervise staff, among several other functions.

This training programme is specially designed to meet (and, in fact, exceed) this need.
