Star Achievement Series Trainer Kit
Bring the program to your organization and lead the way to an exciting future for yourself and your fellow administrative professionals.
Star Achievement Series Off-The-Shelf Training Kit
Bring the Star Achievement Series to Your Organization
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.

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