AI training for executive assistants

If you support a leader, a team or clients, start with the work you handle each week: inbox, calendar, meetings, travel, research, documents and confidential information. Compare courses by the tasks they let you practise and the tools you can use.

Find your starting point

The Professional Diploma in AI-Powered Executive Assistance lays out an executive-support sequence: inbox triage, time-zone calendars, research, travel packs, briefings, Gamma reports and a capstone. Generative AI for Virtual Assistant: Work Smarter Not Harder is shorter and covers client content, Canva, Notion or Trello, meeting actions, Zapier and a VA portfolio. It is a broader freelance toolkit.

Ventum offers a one- or two-day course that can use company tools and participant examples across Office, Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude. Aractech's five-day Smart Office covers process mapping, SOPs, follow-up, document control, dashboards and a final simulation. Upskill Development's 16-module programme covers scheduling, OCR, reporting, automation and security without naming software. Ask each provider about dates, fees, group size and the tools used in class.

Free VA Hub names fictional briefs, a prompt library, 30 exercises and six checkpoints. EON's Singapore WSQ Includes free-tool admin exercises, a practical assignment and a short written assessment. UBC has four self-paced modules and a 90-day access window. SkillPath and Pryor offer shorter live or webinar formats. Pryor describes separate certificates for live attendance and recording access. Compare the actual work, teaching format and account requirements.

A fictional example to try

Choose your first useful AI task

Imagine you support two directors. Every Friday, you turn their project notes into a short update. You already know the projects. The slow part is finding the changes and writing them clearly.

Try this prompt

Using these fictional project notes, draft a Friday update with three sections: progress, decisions needed and next steps. Keep each point to one sentence. Include an owner and deadline only when the notes name them. Put missing information in a separate questions list.

What a useful answer includes

  • The update follows the notes and keeps proposals separate from decisions.
  • Missing owners or dates stay as questions.
  • The draft gives you something useful to edit.

Before you pick a course

  • Want help across the role?
  • Compare assistant courses covering several recurring tasks.
  • Want to fix Friday reporting first?
  • Start with a focused writing, document or project course.
  • Check whether you will make your own output or watch a demonstration.
  • If feedback matters to you, look for a course that explains how you receive it.
  • Make sure the exercises use an AI tool and account you can access at work.
