One course. One transition. Built from real experience — not theory.

What students say

Real results from real EAs.

This is the course I wish had existed ten years ago. Sarah doesn't teach theory — she teaches exactly how the role works at the highest level, from someone who's actually been there. I finally feel like I have the framework to match the work I'm already doing.

Sophie Turner
EA, Financial Services

I've done other EA training and nothing comes close to this. The emotional intelligence module alone was worth the entire investment. I've already applied it directly in my current role — my exec has noticed a real difference.

Alice Newman
Senior PA moving to EA

My employer funded this entirely. The CPD accreditation made it easy to put the business case together — and the content delivered far beyond what the brief promised. Practical, honest, built by someone who genuinely knows what they're talking about.

Carla Fields
Executive Assistant, Legal Sector
For CEOs, Founders & Senior Leaders

How High Performing Leaders Use an Executive Assistant

You hired an EA to get your time back. You're still drowning. Nobody ever taught you how to actually hand things over — what to delegate, how to brief properly, how to build the working relationship that changes everything. This course does that in under two hours.

This course is for you if

"I have an EA and I'm still overwhelmed. I know the answer is right there — but I've never been taught how to actually use them properly."

01
The EA Role and What Leaders Get Wrong
Understanding the core role and value of an EA at executive level — and the common misconceptions that limit leverage from day one
02
Practical Delegation for Time-Poor Leaders
How to identify what should leave your desk, delegate outcomes rather than tasks, and brief your EA in a way that produces results without hand-holding
03
Expectations, Boundaries and the Working Relationship
Clarifying responsibilities, decision-making authority, communication standards and trust — the foundations of a high-impact executive partnership
What you leave with
Delegation worksheet
Task audit template

Common questions

Everything you
need to know.

Still not sure which course is right for you? Email info@richintime.co.uk and Sarah will point you in the right direction.

Can my employer fund the EA Edition?
Yes — it's CPD accredited, which makes it straightforward to request employer funding as professional development. Many students have their fees covered in full. DM "CASE" on LinkedIn and Sarah will send you a free business case template to send to your employer.
How long do the courses take?
Both are fully self-paced with lifetime access. Most students complete the EA Edition over four to six weeks. The EA to CEO Edition typically takes eight to twelve weeks. There's no deadline — go at the pace that works around your life.
Is the EA to CEO Edition really UK-specific?
Yes, throughout. Legal content covers UK registration, sole trader vs limited company, HMRC, GDPR and UK insurance. Financial content covers UK tax, VAT, the Flat Rate Scheme and UK business banking. Nothing generic, nothing from US sources.
What's the difference between the two EA courses?
The EA Edition is for admins, PAs and secretaries who want to step up to EA level — or EAs who want formal CPD accreditation. The EA to CEO Edition is for experienced EAs ready to go freelance. If you're already an established EA, the EA to CEO Edition is the better fit.
Is the EA to CEO Edition for people who haven't gone freelance yet?
Yes. It's designed for experienced EAs who are still employed and planning to make the leap. Everything is built to take you from where you are now to launch-ready.
Is this a VA course?
No — explicitly not. These are EA courses, built at the level the EA profession deserves. The distinction matters and it's reflected in everything from the pricing frameworks to the client acquisition approach.
You already know you're ready

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Ready is a feeling that doesn't arrive before the decision. It arrives after it. The EAs who've changed the trajectory of their career didn't wait — they started with what they had and learned the rest as they went.
