Strategic Executive Administrator Certification (SEAC) is the professional credential for executive admins looking to elevate their strategic impact, validating high-level executive support and business operations skills. Backed by insights from the largest benchmarking survey in the profession, researched and published by ASAP, SEAC is built differently — and built for you.
Credentials empower potential.
SEAC develops and validates mastery across four domains: executive operations, business and financial acumen, applied technology (including AI and automation), and modern leadership strategies. The curriculum goes deep — from risk mitigation and governance to data-driven decision-making and change management.
Built for professionals who’ve earned a seat at the table and want the credential to match.
This is the natural next step for PACE-certified professionals — and the right credential for experienced executive assistants, executive business partners, chiefs of staff, and senior administrative leaders who are ready to make their strategic impact official.
SEAC at APC:
Join course instructor Lisa Olsen for four days of SEAC Prep Work at APC. Each morning, attendees with a SEAC Certification Pass will work through the four domains with Lisa — then shift into full conference mode in the afternoons. Attend other APC sessions as the schedule allows, connect with peers, and explore everything the event has to offer.
Ready to go for it?
Attendees have the option to sit for the SEAC exam onsite at APC. It’s a balanced experience designed to help you prepare, earn a credential, and fully engage in the conference.
