C&C Academy

I thoroughly recommend C&C Academy’s Exec PA 360 course, both for existing EAs and those PAs who are ready for their next professional step. The online course exceeded my expectations, with its holistic blend of: - Professional development; informative and thought-provoking content, reflecting the EAs’ 21st century role in business - Personal awareness: challenging, encouraging and ultimately empowering students to recognise and overcome self-limiting beliefs. To become the leaders their companies need them to be - Exploration of complementary tools: including visualisation, meditation and mind mapping - The 360 Tribe: while each student progresses at their own pace, the group’s online community offers invaluable support, discussion and camaraderie. All of the above are brought together by Lucy Chamberlain’s engaging presentation of each online module, combining research and best-practice with her professional (and personal) insight. Lucy’s genuine enthusiasm for the recognition and advancement of the administrative profession shines through. The course is also CPD accredited too, reflecting Exec PA 360 students’ commitment to their professional progression.

I was fortunate enough to win a place on this course, and it's honestly the best thing to happen to me. I was a little deflated in my role as I wasn't sure where my place was as an Assistant, but I know I wanted to step up, and my organisation did not know how to do this. The topics are 100% spot on for anyone who wants to gain confidence in their role, and themselves in small or large organisations. Lucy empowers you to see yourself as more than 'just' an Assistant, and gives you the gems to be noticed by your Executive(s) and colleagues, with inspirational talks along the way. Thank you C&C Academy!

Initially I wasn't sure what to expect from this course. A lot of courses promise a lot but often don't deliver. This is NOT one of those courses. Every chapter offers insight and different perspectives on things I thought I already knew. Lucy brings depth and revelations packaged up in an easy to follow, friendly and supportive manner which leaves you eager to learn more. Each chapter comes with additional resources and workbooks to allow you to further develop your new found skills and allows you to put these skills into practise, alongside multiple choice quizzes and an assignment to end each chapter and progress onto the next. This course has been developed from the viewpoint of the consumer and encourages self - reflection on each topic to help you develop your full potential. I’ve come away feeling more confident in my abilities and better equipped to tackle the day to day workplace uncertainties. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to all assistants who wish to commit to making progress in their careers.

I loved doing this course, it was full of expert guidance and insightful and thought-provoking content. Well put together, with fantastic webinars accompanying it. i would encourage all PA/EA's to do this well-needed course - highly enjoyable!

Lucy (and Ed), I cannot thank you both enough for navigating me and everyone else who has made the smartest decision to complete this course, through it. When I first started, I did hit a wall at the first assignment as I'm not used to digging deep and really looking inwards. I'm a process/system type assistant and was expecting a quiz or test! Once past that first module however, I felt enlightened, motivated and like I could take on the world in my role! I flew through the rest of it within 4 days (around working full time and being a mum to a toddler)! The course is set out perfectly in order to be able to study at home and simultaneously whilst working. The clips in each module are short enough to keep you engaged but also long enough to really add value and content to the module. The tasks within each module are also great and must be completed to really benefit from the value of this course. Lucy and Ed are also on hand throughout your study time, so if you do have any issues/concerns/questions, they are right there at the end of an email or one of the many support forums they have set up for the participants. I felt supported the whole way through this course. Lucy your dedication to assistants and nurturing our growth really does shine through. You continue to be such an inspiration to me and I cannot thank you enough for encouraging me to reach my full potential and helping me to believe I am capable and worth a lot more than what I've been putting up with! The sincerest thank you to you!

At the start, I was slightly sceptical. I always thought that I’m pretty accomplished at what I do. Listening to Lucy talk really got under my skin and made me analyse what I could change and improve. On reflection, there are so many things that I could do differently and better. This course has really made me look into my soul and be honest with myself about who I am and how I will approach my career going forwards. I have learnt new skills and have challenged aspects of my own behaviour that I hope will be life changing. I thought I was good. With Lucy’s tuition, I intend on being incredible!

This course has been a fantastic opportunity to self-analyse and really allows you to delve deep and reflect that n who you. I love the holistic approach of the course and the way in which Lucy Chamberlain is available to assist, direct and encourage every step of the way. I do have a new found belief in myself so I really have to say thank you for working with me! Taryn

The course was first class, well prepared sessions, thought provoking and one to think outside the box. I enjoyed the workbooks, essential to retain for future reference and reflecting on the messages and key points in the template. I found the assignments on each subject a good challenge and thought provoking.

Hi Everyone, I can’t recommend this course enough! As a PA/EA community it’s often us that gets forgotten about with regards to learning or courses are thousands of pounds!! Not this one, Lucy carefully guides us through what really makes a stand out PA/EA with course work that really makes you think about YOU. How you work, your confidence at all levels, work out your ability to make decisions and calling it out when you see bad behaviour! This course makes you take that one step further.. I promise you won’t regret starting the journey and can guarantee your smile when you complete!!

Firstly it was so nice to see a bespoke course made for EA/PA's, we seem to fall through the cracks when it comes to training in our line of work. This course if particularly good for new starters or for those who do not have much experience being a PA/EA. The course is broken down into manageable sections, full of insightful knowledge and expert information to help you progress with your career and grow as an individual. Thank you

Lucy, you have an amazing way of communicating that instantly gives the listener a warm ''I've got you" assurance throughout this course. I would love to see this training course taken on board by the big Corporates eg; KPMG, McKinsey, HSBC where they have numerous EA/PAs, to show them they are valued and in turn their working lives will truly be enhanced. Great work - keep it up.

This course has been a Godsend. Lucy and Ed have been both encouraging and passionate and are committed to helping me, and all others taking their courses, reach the highest of their abilities. They have made me take a few steps up in confidence and that belief is priceless. I cannot thank them more and am super proud of myself for taking a leap. This course is a must-have for anyone in the Assistant business or looking to step into it.
