What others say
This whole course was incredibly valuable. Every module was relevant and helped fill in gaps I didn’t even realize I had. Amanda’s personal experiences, along with hearing from others in the course, made the content feel so relatable and practical. Being the only EA at my company and it being my first career path, it was reassuring to see I was on the right track. Most importantly, the course gave me real clarity around what my role is, why EAs are so important, and where I can take my career. I now feel much more confident and have a clear plan for my future growth as an EA.
Amanda was very engaging in her delivery of the course content. It was really useful to get an overview of what the industry expectations are now and its given me the tools and confidence to get back to being an EA again, after 10 years out of the game. I feel excited to start applying for jobs and move my career into a new direction.
The EA Leader course was insightful, relevant, and highly practical. I'd recommend it to all EAs looking to elevate their impact and wanting to grow their leadership skills.
The material that was discussed highlights perfectly the tasks and situations EA can find themselves. Also a good reminder how we should be constantly looking at ways to learn and develop skills. Also easy videos to follow along and liked the fact we were given tools that we can look into using.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it highly valuable. I had many key takeaways, and I especially appreciated being able to apply the learnings from each subject directly to my new role in real time. The flexibility to complete the course at my own pace was also a significant advantage.
The most valuable aspect of the EA Manager course was the focus on developing strategic thinking and leadership capability within the Executive Assistant role. It provided practical frameworks for influencing up, managing stakeholder relationships, and aligning EA contributions with organisational goals. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on positioning the EA as a critical business partner, which has helped shift my perspective and approach to my role.
I highly recommend the EA Institute to other EAs in my network—their flexible, high-impact courses are redefining professional development in our field. They’re truly leading the way in empowering EAs through practical, forward-thinking education.
[EA Technician is] An absolutely amazing foundational course for the person who is starting their EA career or would like to brush up their skills.
