What you will gain

What you take away from the day itself, and from the plan you leave with

Confident use of AI tools You work with the AI tools your organisation already allows, on the kind of material you deal with every week, so you leave knowing what they can take off your plate and what they cannot.

Stronger influence and stakeholder skills You practise supporting executive decisions, managing stakeholders and influencing outcomes with confidence, which are the capabilities that set the best EAs apart.

Working practices you keep Rules and prompts written for your own executive during the day, saved as a document and ready to use the following week.

A plan and a follow-up One change to make in your role over the next 30 days, and a call with one of the facilitators a month later to see how it went and agree what comes next.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Full day, in-personA structured day with room for genuine reflection and application. You leave having processed, not just received.
Intentionally small groupPeer learning is part of the value. You leave with connections and shared experience that outlast the day.
Structured 30-day implementation planOne practical experiment you design on the day and take back to your role, with everything you built as editable files.
Follow-up coaching callA 30-minute call with one of the facilitators a month later to review your result and agree the next step.
How the day works

How the day works

Built around what you bring with you, and what you take away.

This is not a technology course. Before the day we ask what you already use AI for, where it lets you down and the one recurring part of your role you would most like to fix, and the day is built around what the room tells us.

You spend the day working through the kind of material an EA deals with every week, on your own laptop, using whichever AI tools your organisation allows. Everything you work on has been created by us for the day, so nothing from your own organisation goes anywhere near an AI tool. You find out quickly what the tools do well, where they go wrong and where your own judgement still has to carry the decision.

Later in the day you turn to the challenge you brought with you, and you leave with something built and tested for your own role rather than an idea to try one day. Emily, Lily and Alice are working alongside you throughout.

You take away the prompts and rules you wrote during the day, saved as a document you can open on Monday morning, one thing you have committed to start that week, and a follow-up call with one of the facilitators to see how it went.

What the Future Ready

01

From Reactive to Strategic

Operating with greater confidence and strategic awareness frees up more of your executive’s time.

AI KNOWLEDGE

AI training that fits the EA role

You learn to use AI for the work it does well, and you keep the human judgement that makes you valuable for everything else.

INSTANT RESULTS

03

Results from Day One

You leave with a plan you can start on your next working day, built around your own role, so the results begin immediately.

FOLLOW-UP

04

Built-in Accountability

A follow-up call with one of the facilitators 30 days after the training day is included, so the changes stick and the results can be measured.

Your facilitators

Your facilitators

Three people who know the role from different sides.

Emily Partridge is eavolve’s Managing Director and created the programme. She spent fifteen years as a senior Executive Assistant in FTSE 100 CEO offices before managing a global team of sixty EAs, and she opens the day and keeps it honest about what AI cannot do.

Lily Shippen founded eavolve and has been recruiting Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants and Chiefs of Staff for over a decade through the recruitment business that carries her name, so she sees every week what employers are asking of the role. She co-leads every session.

Alice Garside is eavolve’s associate trainer and co-leads every session with Lily, bringing the day-to-day reality of running an executive’s office with these tools.

One day. One
investment.
A measurable shift.

Everything you need to use AI with confidence, work more strategically and keep the gains going long after the day itself.

The Future Ready EA & PA Training Day is the most practical AI training available for EAs and PAs in the UK.

The business case for investing in your EA

Built and delivered for organisations with EA and PA teams, as well as for individuals.

When your EA operates more strategically, your executive gets better support, better protection of their time, and more space to focus on what only they can do. That is not a soft benefit, because it compounds across every working day. We have built and delivered this day specifically for corporate organisations with EA and PA teams, as well as running it as an open day for individuals.

✓Increases executive bandwidth through stronger strategic day-to-day support
✓A tangible investment in EA and PA retention, because high performers stay where they are developed
✓Less friction in the EA to executive relationship, and fewer misaligned expectations
✓Group format means multiple EAs can attend together, amplifying the impact across your leadership team

This day is for you if…

This Future Ready EA & PA Training Day is for EAs and PAs who are ready for more.

✓You are an experienced EA or PA who knows you are capable of contributing more strategically but have never had the training or space to make that shift
✓You are supporting a C-suite or senior leader and the pace, complexity, and expectation has outgrown your current approach
✓You want practical changes you can put to work straight away, rather than theory to file away
✓You want to be recognised as a genuine strategic partner, not just someone who gets things done efficiently
✓You are ready to invest a full day in your professional development and you mean it
✓You want to invest in yourself now, so that you are where the EA role is heading rather than where it has been

The shift is real

What the first Future Ready cohort said, in their own words.

”

“Very insightful and practical training. Emily, Lily and Alice were all eager to help with real-life scenarios and to make sure what we learnt could be put to use.”

Questions about the day

Everything you need to know before booking.

What AI tools are covered?2026-10-12T12:27:36+00:00

The day works across the AI tools EAs and PAs actually have at work, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and every exercise runs on whichever platform your organisation allows. Rather than teaching one tool, we teach you to choose between them and to apply them to real EA work: the inbox, the diary, briefing your executive and turning repeated tasks into saved workflows. The content is reviewed before every delivery, so it reflects how the tools work now. Read our article on what AI training for EAs should actually cover.

Do I need any AI experience?2026-10-19T18:45:07+00:00

The day is tailored to you, so it works whether you are starting from nothing or already use AI every day and want to push it further. All you need is access to at least one AI tool you are allowed to use at work, and if you are not sure which, tell us when you book.

What is in the 30-day plan?2026-10-12T12:29:32+00:00

The 30-day plan is one practical experiment you design on the day and take back to your role: one AI workflow to implement, one lower-value task to reduce, and one result your executive should notice within a month. It comes with a week-by-week structure, everything you built during the day as editable files, and a 30-minute follow-up call with one of the facilitators to review your result and agree the next step.

Can my employer fund it?2026-10-19T19:05:53+00:00

Yes, and many attendees are employer-funded. At £675 + VAT, with payment plans available, the day includes the full programme, the 30-day plan and a follow-up call, so the return is visible within a month. We will send you a one-page employer overview written for your manager, and our free employer funding guide covers when to ask and what to say.

Is this an AI course for executive assistants, or a general AI course?2026-10-12T12:30:53+00:00

It is built only for Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants. Every exercise uses the work you actually do: an executive’s inbox, a diary that will not settle, a briefing that has to be right before a board dinner. Generic AI courses teach you what the tools can do; this day teaches you what to do with them in the EA role, and where the judgement that makes you valuable still has to be yours.

How is this different from the EA & PA Strategy Training Day?2026-10-19T18:32:31+00:00

The Strategy Training Day is about how you operate: prioritisation, influence and working as a strategic partner to your executive. The Future Ready EA & PA Training Day is about the tools and habits that create the time to do that, with AI at the centre. Many EAs do both, in either order. If you are choosing one, the Strategy Day is the deeper investment in your role and the Future Ready EA & PA Training Day is the fastest way to give yourself back time each week.

Will AI replace Executive Assistants?2026-10-19T19:38:25+00:00

No, but it is changing what the role is valued for. Tasks that were once most of the job, such as drafting, summarising and scheduling, are becoming faster, which puts more weight on the parts AI cannot do: knowing the people, reading the room, understanding the executive’s priorities and deciding what should never be written down. The EAs who thrive are the ones who use AI to create time and then spend it on that judgement. The whole day is designed around that shift: AI for the work it does well, and your judgement for everything that matters.
