EA & PA training that takes you seriously because your role matters
eavolve® offers the UK’s only specialist EA and PA training built entirely around the realities of the role, not a generic professional development programme with your job title added as an afterthought.
The training the EA & PA profession has always deserved
Practical, career-defining development, designed by people who know the role from the inside.
EA and PA training in the UK has historically meant generic communication workshops and time management courses that barely scratch the surface of what the role actually demands. eavolve® was built to change that. Our programmes are designed specifically for Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants. People operating at a strategic level, often invisibly, and rarely given the professional development they deserve.
Every programme is designed and delivered by Emily Partridge, a former EA who managed 60 EAs globally, with a 15-year career supporting the CEO office in FTSE 100 organisations. Emily does not just understand the EA and PA role; she has lived it at the highest level, and led teams of people who do. That dual credibility is at the heart of everything eavolve® delivers.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your strategic thinking, build confidence in how you communicate, future-proof your career, or simply be taken more seriously at the level you’re already operating at, there is a programme here for you. Our in-person training days run in Manchester and London, with all programmes available online for EA and PA professionals across the UK and beyond. With over 30 years of combined expertise in EA recruitment, management, and professional development, eavolve® brings a depth of understanding to its training that generalist providers simply cannot match.
Choose your pathway
Whether you’re investing in yourself or your team, there’s a programme built for where you are right now.
What you walk away with
Not just a day out of the office. Something that stays with you.

You’re in the right place if…
This isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s built for EAs and PAs who take their career seriously.
01
You’re ready to operate more strategically
You know you’re capable of more than your current role gives you credit for. You want practical skills that help you operate at the level you’re already working towards, and be recognised for it.
02
Your employer is ready to invest in you
Your company sees the value of a great EA or PA and wants to give you the professional development to match. Or you’re ready to make that case and need the right programme to point them towards.
03
You want development that actually gets the role
You’ve sat through generic training that could apply to anyone in any job. You want something built specifically for the EA and PA profession, something that speaks your language and respects what you actually do.

Not just frameworks. Real, applicable shifts in how you operate, communicate, and position yourself. The kind of development you’ll still be drawing on years later.
Meet Emily Partridge
The person behind every eavolve® programme.
Emily Partridge is one of the few people in the EA and PA training space who has genuinely lived the role at the highest level, and then led others doing it at scale.
Over a 15-year career as an Executive Assistant, Emily supported CEO offices in FTSE 100 organisations, earning recognition as an award-winning EA in some of the UK’s most demanding corporate environments. She then transitioned into EA management, overseeing 60 Executive Assistants globally as an EA Manager. It is that dual experience, of operating at the top of the role and then building and leading teams of people doing the same, that makes Emily’s approach to training genuinely different.
Lily and Emily built eavolve® because they kept seeing the same gap: EAs and PAs operating at a strategic level, carrying enormous responsibility, and receiving almost no professional development that reflected the reality of what they actually did. Generic training, junior-level content, or courses designed for administrators rather than strategic operators. eavolve® was built to close that gap.
Every eavolve® programme is written, refined, and delivered by Emily. When you book a training day or coaching series, you are working directly with someone who has sat in your seat, at the highest level, and knows precisely what it takes to operate there with confidence.

Questions we hear a lot
If you’re wondering, you’re probably not alone.
Most professional development available to EAs and PAs is either generic (designed for any professional, not specifically for this role) or overly task-focused, covering software and diary management rather than the strategic, relational, and career dimensions of the job. eavolve® programmes are designed exclusively for the EA and PA profession, by people with over 30 years of combined experience in EA recruitment, management, and senior-level support. There is nothing in our content that could apply equally to a project manager or a marketing assistant. It is all built for you, by people who have been you.
Yes, many of our community members’ employers do. If you’d like support making the case internally, we have a free resource to help you build your proposal. Many employers are happy to fund EA training UK providers like eavolve® once they understand the business case. The key is framing it in terms of organisational benefit: better-supported leaders, more strategic executive support, and reduced friction at the top of the business. Download our free guide to making the case to your employer.
It depends on the programme. Our training days, including the CPD Accredited EA & PA Strategy Training Day and the Future Ready EA & PA Training Day, are in-person and run in Manchester and London. Coaching programmes are delivered online and we work with clients nationwide. The Secret Club combines monthly online Anchor Sessions with two in-person events each year, one in the north and one in the south. We will always confirm the format before you book.
Book a Discovery Call. It’s free, it’s 30 minutes, and it’s not a sales call. It is a genuine conversation with Emily about where you are and what you’re looking for. If there’s a programme that’s right for you, she’ll tell you which one and why. If there isn’t, she will tell you that too. No obligation and no pressure either way.
Training is structured content delivered in a group or workshop format. You will leave with frameworks, tools, and skills you can apply immediately. Coaching is 1:1 and goes deeper into your specific situation, goals, and challenges. Many people find training gives them the language and confidence, while coaching helps them apply it in the context of their actual role. The two work well together, but either works independently.
Our programmes are designed for practising EAs and PAs at all career stages, from those a few years into the role who want to build confidence and strategic presence, through to highly experienced senior assistants who want to operate at an even higher level or transition into a Chief of Staff position. During your Discovery Call, Emily will check that the programme is matched to your experience and goals.
