An online learning programme for Assistants that will give you the tools you need to master every aspect of scheduling and managing your Executive’s diary.
Master every aspect of calendar and diary management
Effective calendar management for Assistants is a hugely important aspect of the role. Assistants spend at the very least a third of their day organising their Executive’s schedule.
And we all know juggling our Executive’s time is a complex operation.
There are also many tasks related to diary management, such as ensuring the Executives get to their meetings on time, understanding the reason for the meeting, and whether the Executive is prepared for it. And that is not where calendar management ends.
Assistants also have to manage the time their Executives spend outside of meetings. Diary management is a complicated and time-consuming task, but an essential service Assistants offer their Executives.
It is a challenge, but like lots of Assistants before you, we will show you the best approach to master this element of the role and help you build the skills and know-how you need to succeed.
The Effective Calendar Management Online Course will give you the tools to master every aspect of scheduling.
For aspiring Assistants who want to save their Executive time and increase their productivity, our curriculum provides everything you need to master this essential part of the Assistant role.
