Your principal needs you at your sharpest. AI takes the routine work off your plate so you can be.

Your day is built around other people's priorities. Inbox triage before breakfast, travel itineraries that change twice, meeting prep that has to be perfect, and a dozen small requests that pop up with no warning. Most of the work is constant, and it leaves almost no room for the higher-value support your principal actually needs from you.

AI can draft correspondence in your principal's tone, research and compare flight options in seconds, pull together briefing documents from raw notes, and format expense reports without the back-and-forth. This course teaches you exactly how to put those tools to work, so you can clear the admin faster and focus on the work that makes you indispensable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any AI experience to take this course?

None at all. Unit 1 starts from scratch, walks you through setting up your AI tools, and has you writing effective prompts within the first hour. The course is designed for personal assistants who have never used AI before.

Which AI tools will I use?

Free accounts on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini cover everything in the course. We mention profession-specific tools where relevant for personal assistants, but no paid subscription is required to complete the course.

How is this different from the Executive Assistants course?

This course focuses on the personal assistant role specifically, covering tasks like correspondence in your principal's voice, private travel arrangements, gift and event research, and expense management. It's built for PAs who work closely with one or two principals rather than supporting a broader office function.

Is it safe to use AI with my principal's confidential information?

Unit 1 covers confidentiality and responsible AI use in detail. You will learn exactly what is safe to share with AI tools and what must remain private, with specific guidance for executive communications, personal information, and sensitive business data.

What if the course is not right for me?

Yes. Every enrollment carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. If personal assistants try the course and decide it isn't useful, email support and the refund lands within one business day.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes, the course ends with a short multiple-choice exam. Pass it and personal assistants earn a Certificate of Completion that names AI for Personal Assistants specifically, digital and shareable on LinkedIn.

Who This Course Is For

This course is for personal assistants, executive assistants, and PAs who want to get through admin faster and deliver better support using AI. It's practical and hands-on, built for busy professionals who need to see results quickly, not sit through a technology lecture.

How Long Does It Take?

Expect approximately 25 hours of reading in AI for Personal Assistants, along with interactive quizzes and practical exercises based on real PA scenarios. Most students complete the course in two to four weeks, but you can move through the material at your own pace.
