Today’s PA’s duties do not end with looking after your manager’s calendar. Top PAs are now taking on more responsibilities such as managing projects and events. Managing Successful Projects and Events will take you through a project life cycle and show you how to make it a shining success, earning you praise and gratitude from your boss and respect and admiration from your colleagues.
Often without specific training, you have to be not just good, but great at so many diverse tasks, while all around you colleagues with specialised functions only have to concentrate on doing one thing well.
Isn’t it funny how often what seemed like a simple task (at least to your boss) when you were given it, can easily turn into a project, gobbling up your time, as well as resources? If you need to be more effective in managing your tasks and projects, want to feel more in control of involved colleagues and deadlines, and get help from project planning tools, then Managing Successful Projects and Events for non-project managers is for you! During the first half of the day your trainer will take you through the main steps of project management process:
The second half of the day is dedicated to managing successful events. Since every event is a project on its own, at this stage you will already have a clear picture of the main steps you need to take to make the whole process run smoothly. The afternoon part will cover some specifics of organising events:
You will also learn:
We will provide you with comprehensive checklists and other useful materials that will turn the process of managing a project or organising an event into a simple task.

With a day to impart so much information effectively, we use a variety of training techniques to ensure that PAs retain what they have learnt and return to work able to implement their new knowledge immediately. Providing direct after-course support via email and social media therefore plays an essential part in this process. The techniques include:
All Today’s PA delegates are asked to evaluate Managing Successful Projects and Events as it finishes. Delegates regularly give us 5 out of 5, and 1 in 6 have said it’s the best course they’ve ever attended.
Today’s PA was named “Best PA Training Provider in the UK” six years running, having been voted for by thousands of Assistants in the PA Voice Awards 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Your principal trainer, Paul Pennant, is the founder and Managing Director of Today’s PA.

When you commit your time to Today’s PA, we want you to know that we understand and recognise that commitment. We want to do everything we can to ensure that Managing Successful Projects and Events is thoroughly worthwhile for you. Being properly prepared will play a key part in achieving that success. Indeed, your success is our success.
If you get what we promise from Managing Successful Projects and Events – and we know you will – we are confident you will recommend it to peers and colleagues. So we would like you to complete a short questionnaire, just before you attend the workshop, in order to give us a snapshot of the kind of person and PA you are, how you became a PA and what are your issues, frustrations, hopes and ambitions.
When you arrive at the workshop, you will feel that you are among friends who understand you – and you are, because your trainers and course designers have all been where you are now. Doesn’t that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
Once the workshop is over, we don’t just wave you goodbye and close the door. When you leave, you take with you our ongoing commitment to your success, which includes:
Even if you can’t make it to one of our venues, don’t despair – why not let us come to you?
There are many good reasons for keeping the course in-house: it makes for greater efficiency and ensures everything is focussed on your organisation’s business. The course can be adapted to your organisation’s specific needs so that it perfectly aligns with its culture and values.
Your PAs can also network and share their experiences of the course, thus strengthening the PA role within your organisation.
