The executive-level credential for the Strategic Assistant

The program runs on an experiential model, and it's the reason our assistants get results. Each week, you learn the concepts in the companion curriculum, apply them inside your real role and your real executive relationship that same week, then bring what happened into live executive coaching — twice weekly, led by Joshua Washington — to deepen the learning and accelerate the transformation. That loop runs all nine weeks. The curriculum itself moves in three movements: seeing the whole board in weeks one through three, the strategic core in weeks four through six, and the career-critical conversations and your Master Strategy Plan in weeks seven through nine. And the live sessions are interactive and genuinely fun — a cohort learning and growing together, not an audience watching a lecture.

Two one-hour live coaching sessions each week, plus 15–20 minutes of bite-sized companion curriculum. The application work happens inside your real role, not on top of it — the model was built for professionals carrying full executive workloads.

Every session is recorded and available to your cohort. That said, the live room is where the coaching happens — we recommend protecting the calendar the way you'd protect your executive's.

You'll have direct access to Joshua in every live session, plus a private cohort community where questions get answered between sessions. No one moves through this program alone.

Yes, deliberately. The program is built for senior assistants with ten or more years supporting C-suite or senior executive leaders. If you're earlier in your career, start with the Strategic Readiness Assessment and the free EA-Pros tools — we'd rather point you to the right resource than the expensive one.

The program doesn't require your executive's participation — it requires yours. Many graduates found their executive's view of the role shifted as their contribution did. The frameworks are built to change what the room sees, not to depend on what it already believes.

Most EA training operates at the task layer — tools, efficiency, execution. This program operates at the strategy layer, and it's taught by an organizational psychologist who coaches executives, using the Strategic Assistant Framework — a category framework built to shift how organizations think about the role itself. We'd also say this plainly: there is good training in this profession. This is simply a different tier of it, for a different tier of professional.

We won't promise you a number. We'll tell you what graduates have done: a promotion to Chief of Staff thirty days after completion, a 34% compensation increase, director-level promotions, and expanded strategic scope. The credential is built to shift your access, your compensation, and how the room sees you — and the info session shows you exactly how.

Senior assistants inside Abbott, Amazon, AT&T, Capital One, CVS Health, Verizon, the U.S. Air Force, and other enterprise organizations have trained with EA-Pros. Recognition follows the standard: we never certify a graduate we couldn't stand behind in a real executive room.

Usually, yes. Tuition falls under the $5,250 IRS tax-free educational assistance threshold and was set deliberately within reach of enterprise tuition-assistance caps. Most graduates fund it through a professional development budget, tuition reimbursement, or a manager-approved development request — and the info session includes guidance for making that case.

Yes. Organizations enroll three to thirty seats per cohort, with private cohorts available for larger teams. Contact us and we'll map the right structure for your team.

Cohorts form a limited number of times each year, and each is capped at 75 senior EAs to protect the high-touch coaching experience. The next cohort's start date is shared in the info session — and when its enrollment closes, the next opening may be a quarter or more away.

Through the work itself. The Certified Strategic Partner credential is awarded on completion of all nine weeks — the module curriculum and its real-time application inside your role. There is no final exam, because the credential doesn't certify what you memorized. It certifies how you operate.

Yes — at the strategy level, not the tool level. Tool proficiency you can get anywhere. This program develops you to lead AI adoption: scaling AI effectiveness across the executive suite and the organization, and becoming the person your leadership looks to for it.

Yes — lifetime access. That's deliberate: it frees you to focus your first pass through the program on the highest-value applications in your current workflow, knowing you can return to any module as your role and your executive's world evolve.

Yes — a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, in writing, from day one of the program. We'd rather stand behind the work than hide behind fine print.
