The main duty of a secretary or other administrative assistant is to provide administrative support to the senior managers in an organisation. This general description means that they may be given a wide range of tasks and responsibilities, based on the specific needs of their organisation. They may also be asked to take on a variety of secondary duties.
Knowledgeable, efficient administrative assistants, PAs, and private secretaries are very valuable to their executives and to the enterprise for which they work, so they are in great demand and command good salaries and other benefits - good, well-trained secretaries/PAs/administrators are valued and sought after - no enterprise can get along without one (or more) of them. Their range of duties can be wide, and can vary considerably; this Program provides essential training and knowledge about many of them, including office management principles, staff matters, accounts, and IT.
