Star Achievement Series Off-The-Shelf Training Kit

Training kit for administrative professionals

Bring the Star Achievement Series to Your Organization

For the past 25 years, the Star Achievement Series® has set the industry standard for administrative training. A staple at some of the world’s most well-respected organizations (including many Fortune 500 companies), this program is known for its groundbreaking approach, comprehensive curriculum, and enduring relevance in the ever-evolving business world. Updated 16 times by Joan Burge, CEO of Office Dynamics and creator of the program, Star Achievement has gained international acclaim as THE resource for administrative and executive assistant training and development.

Lead the way

The Star Achievement Series® Trainer Kit offers everything you need to successfully guide 15 participants through our Level I program. From pre-class assessments to marketing materials and facilitator notes, you’ll be perfectly positioned to host this life- and career- changing program onsite at your company.

We like to say, “This is the next best thing to Joan Burge herself!”

While Joan would love to bring the Star Achievement Series® to your organization herself, it isn’t always feasible. We know that with travel, scheduling, and budget constraints, too many companies that want and need this training have been struggling to re-invent the wheel. They invest time, money and energy only to create programs that fall flat and leave attendees wanting more.

The Star Achievement Series® is a time-tested program that has established itself over the course of decades. The Trainer Kit allows a top administrative performer (like you!) or someone from your Training Department at your organization to use its proven success formula at a fraction of the cost required to bring Joan onsite.

Program validated by 800+ executives. Don’t take our word for it. The Star Achievement Series® has been validated by more than 800 executives who have witnessed behavior changes in their administrative partner who attended Level I and Level II Star Achievement Series® classes.

HOW IT WORKS

Every Trainer Kit comes with materials for 15 attendees to attend all 4 classes of the Star Achievement Series® Level I program. (See curriculum outline.)

THE KIT INCLUDES

Participant Workbooks (15 for each of the 4 classes = 60 total)

Each class uses a comprehensive, professionally designed workbook to guide participants through the stages of learning. Participants are encouraged to keep and reference them for years to come.  One set of participant workbooks is included for the trainer.

The participant workbooks offer interim and post-class reinforcement assignments and resources to help participants continue their learning outside of the classroom. Links and QR codes make accessing the information quick and easy.

BONUS: We have provided a web site Companion Page for each Star Achievement Series® workbook. The Companion Pages list the resources mentioned throughout a workbook in one place so you can immediately link to the referenced materials.

Comprehensive Instructor Guide (for all 4 classes)

This guide is your step-by-step playbook, providing everything you need to successfully lead all 4 Level I courses including:

  • Scripts for introducing chapters and topics
  • Transitional phrases to seamlessly move from one topic to the next
  • Learning objectives to help establish classroom expectations
  • Materials needed for each class segment
  • Instructions for classroom activities
  • List of training props and aids, as well as supplier contact information
  • Pre-class preparation checklist and training room set up instructions so you’ll hit the ground running
  • Agenda with detailed class timeline
  • Hints and tips for conducting an engaging, educational session direct from Joan Burge (including her best secrets for keeping participants motivated…even at 3 p.m.!)
  • Special comments and notes to the trainer from Joan Burge

PowerPoint Slides (one set for each of the 4 classes)

Slides are optional and can be used to help engage visual learners, stimulate discussion and keep you on track.

As the course concludes, Joan will offer a special congratulatory video message as graduates prepare to celebrate.

Star Achievement Series® Official Certifications of Completion (15 copies)

Each fill-in-the-blank certificate allows the trainer to customize it with participant names and dates of completion. This adds a final sense of triumph for Level I graduates and provides them with a professional document for their achievement.
