The World Class Assistant™ Certificate Program is a time-tested, industry-proven virtual powerhouse of learning. Designed to polish administrative professionals for upward mobility and current-level stellar performance, this two-part series was the first to recognize assistants as “strategic business partners.”
Our curriculum offers groundbreaking training on topics ranging from high-level concepts (like communication, personal branding, and mindset management) to tactical day-to-day implementation (like proactive problem solving, tactfully voicing your opinion, and decision making).
This is a public program open to all administrative and executive assistants with a desire for enhancing their skill set, developing their career, and establishing a reputation for World Class performance. Find out if this program is for you here.
The program consists of two parts. You can choose to take both back-to-back or get your feet wet with part one and return later to finish.
Each part is two days of high-impact advanced training hosted by Joan Burge. See the agenda for part 1 here; agenda for part 2 here.
All attendees receive our extensive, one-of-a-kind World Class Success Toolkit, including participant workbook, additional materials and resources, and bonus goodies. It’s yours to keep and reference for years to come! Learn more about the program materials here.
Currently, all training is held in-person in Las Vegas, NV. Learn more about the venue here.
The program is currently offered twice each year. See dates below.
This is a high-touch VIP training experience, which means you can expect nothing but the absolute best. Learn more about the VIP experience here.
Graduates of BOTH parts (1 and 2) can qualify for the WCA Certified designation, a globally recognized standard of excellence for administrative professionals. Learn more here.
