Memberships for executive assistants and office professionals
When you join the Global PA Association, you become part of a professional community that offers more than a membership certificate. We provide recognised career pathways, accredited training, mentoring, recruitment support, and networking opportunities for executive assistants, personal assistants, office managers, administrators, and other office professionals.
We are the only professional membership association globally to initiate academic research into the executive assistant profession in partnership with Kingston University Business School. Published in academic journals, this research has helped shape training and career progression across the industry. Through links with CIPD, IoD, LCCI, and the UK Skills Partnership, we remain closely connected to employers and workforce needs. Members also benefit from joining a global network and learning from the experience of our founder, Rosemary Parr.
I have recently completed Global PA's 'Project Management Skills for EAs' course. What a joy! Each element was carefully explained, and the case studies confirmed our understanding. The increased knowledge is empowering, and I'll tackle future projects with a lot more confidence. Thanks, KS Rosemary.
Highly recommended.
It was nice to get something positive out of these unusual circumstances. Attending this course live online and being able to share these sessions with other colleagues was greatly beneficial and enjoyable. I've been looking forward to our Friday e-learning sessions and to the trainer's knowledge, help, and support for the executive PA profession.
