Diploma in Executive Assistant

Program Overview

Executive Assistant Diploma

The Executive Assistant Diploma prepares office administration students to serve in more senior positions as office managers and assistants to senior executives in both industry and government. After completing the TRU Administrative Assistant Certificate in Year 1 or an equivalent office administration program from another institution, students take additional courses in accounting, communications, marketing, law, and management in Year 2.

With the Executive Assistant Diploma, graduates will be well-prepared to write the accreditation exams for the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) or Organizational Management (OM) designation programs.

If you are highly motivated, like working with people, are organized, and have excellent communication skills, the Executive Assistant Diploma program could provide you with the added skills you need to “move up” in your organization.
