Students usually complete the course in 12-18 months, though it may be possible to complete the course sooner if you fast-track your learning with dedicated study time and by choosing the right course dates. 

The Level 3 Certificate (equivalent to A-levels) aims to give aspiring and existing PAs, EAs, secretaries and administration staff the foundation to excel in their role. It’s an excellent pathway for anyone who wants to gain a recognised formal qualification as a PA, EA, secretary or administrator.

This is a modular qualification which consists of 5 course units. Each unit is delivered over 1 or 2 days, in our Manchester Academy. Students are then assessed on the 5 units, through written assessment methods such as reports, project plans, learning journals and practical work.
