PA Training

Practical PA training for assistants who want more confidence, control and capability.

Award winning PA training for Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants and support professionals who want to strengthen their role, improve productivity and work more strategically.

Today’s PA combines essential assistant skills with practical Microsoft 365, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, ChatGPT, Copilot, Forms and Planner training, so you can manage priorities, communication, meetings and workflows with more structure.

This is not generic office training. It is practical PA training delivered by Paul Pennant, Microsoft MVP, former Executive Assistant and founder of Today’s PA.

Training that fits the modern PA role

Build confidence, improve systems, manage your manager more effectively and use Microsoft tools in ways that reduce pressure rather than add to it.

Looking for PA training that is practical, current and role specific?

Personal Assistants are expected to manage priorities, meetings, communication, technology, interruptions, documents and relationships, often at the same time.

The challenge is not effort. It is having the right systems, the right confidence and the right tools for the role as it works today.

This PA training helps you improve:

Confidence and assertiveness in the assistant role
Time, email and diary management
Meeting preparation, actions and minute taking
Microsoft 365 productivity across Outlook, Excel, Word and PowerPoint
Practical use of ChatGPT, Copilot, Forms and Planner

The shift

Move from reacting to everything to working with clearer structure, stronger tools and more professional control.

What changes after this PA training

You leave with practical skills you can use immediately in your role, not just theory or generic advice.

I just wanted to say what a fabulous time I had.  I learnt so much – I still can’t quite take it all in. The first thing I did when I got in the office was set up all my categories in Tasks/Outlook.  That has definitely changed my life!  Also it made me realise how much I do.  On the first day I used it I completed 13 tasks (so when at the end of the day you think, what did I actually do – I can just look at my task list and feel satisfied!). My next thing is to tackle the minutes for our weekly team meeting.  The assertiveness training is helping me here…. When I came home I felt like I was in a complete bubble – the social side of things was amazing too – I...
Thank you again for all your wonderful tips on Outlook and Tasks. I have now cleared down all my emails and have my emails and tasks bar side by side. I can’t tell you what a difference it makes to my productivity.
I just wanted to thank you for providing such a stimulating and thought-provoking course. I will certainly be implementing the tips and suggestions just as soon as I can. I returned to the office today with renewed vigour and cannot wait for the positive changes to start happening. You’re one smart cookie – keep doing what you’re doing, only good things can happen by taking the Today’s Pa training and I, for one, will spread the word!
“I attended the Today's PA two day course in April, and I can honestly say it was the best training course I have ever been on! Having worked first hand as a Personal Assistant, Paul is able to articulate the difficult situations that PA's can face in imaginative and inventive ways. Paper aeroplanes taught me about listening to instructions, and working with birds of prey helped the group understand the importance of confidence and trust. The support Paul and his team offers didn't stop there, with guidance available long after I'd left the classroom. Since I attended training with Indiquo, Pauls business has grown and now offers a wide range of courses, which I would recommend to anyone looking to develop their knowledge, skills, and themselves!”
Firstly, we signed up with Paul as we have trained with him before and truly benefit from his targeted and relevant training for us as assistants. Secondly, we had no idea about AI/Chat GPT, and I mean absolutely no idea.  We were mind blown within about 5 minutes of this course started (but in a really good way), and stayed totally engaged for the entire duration of the training – there is so much to learn, but Paul helped guide us through what would be useful for us to build into our working lives, and give us a good grounding in what is, and will be, a phenomenally fast growing area.  Everyone needs to learn this stuff.
