learning, Development & Upskilling for your profession

Professional Membership Associations play a key role in overseeing standards and representing the interests of a chosen occupation. 

While you might be familiar with the likes of the BMA or CIPD, if you're an Office Professional, trying to find an organisation that can help you advance and develop can be a lot more challenging. 
Global PA Association & Training Academy was established by its founder Rosemary Parr, former Executive Assistant to the Chairman of BT plc in 2007.

 Since our initial launch at the BT Tower in London  April 2007, sponsored by BT plc, we've continued to challenge, outline and redefine the working landscape for executive assistants, personal assistants, team assistants,  secretaries, office managers, administrative assistants and virtual assistants around the world.

 We 'walk our talk' and campaign tirelessly for recognition alongside opportunities for professional development, learning development and job opportunities.

 We have educational links to two of the UK's top Universities - Kingston University Business School,Birkbeck, University of London and University of Northumbria

We partner with the ILM, City and Guilds Group & CPD Standards Office so we can offer office professionals the highest qualifications and opportunities for your career progression.
