European Diploma for P.A.

[secretaria]

Hello!

First of all, I´d like to thank you all for the loads of useful information you post every single day!!
I´m thinking about preparing myself for the "European Diploma for P.A.", since it´s quite expensive and I live far away from Madrid (Spain) I would also have to pay for hotel accomodation and transportation making it even more expensive. Therefore I´d like to know if any of you guys have this Diploma and if you think is worth the money as well as if it is so well recognised in your countries as I´ve been told.
I believe this Diploma is certified by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris (CCIP), the Federation of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHT), the Department of British Examinations (RSA) and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madrid.
Thks a lot for your help and wish you all a great day!!!

Welcome to DD!

I personally have never heard of that diploma.  Have you got a website or more info?  Sounds interesting!

Hello Carmen

I am glad you find the site useful.  Like Beatrice, I have never heard of this Diploma.  I would definitely suggest you do not pay a large sum of money for it until you have some more information about how well known it is.  RSA is a well recognised orgnisation in Britain for, among other things, secretarial examinations.

Never heard of this diploma either.  Maybe it would be a good idea to check it out further.

This post sparked my interest!

The closest I have found is Euroast who are working on the creation and implementation of a common European qualification for Management Assistants.

EUMA is a partner in this project so they might be able to provide more information on this.

In the meantime, check out the website:
