The Association of Administrative Assistants is a Canadian chartered non-profit professional organization with a three-fold purpose:

• to establish a national standard of qualifications for administrative assistants to senior personnel;
• to reach this standard by providing advanced education;
• to make management aware of the fully qualified administrative assistant.

Its mission is to assist members in the continuing development of administrative skill, underlying knowledge, and professional growth, thus enhancing employment opportunities and contributions to both the workplace and the community.

The Qualified Administrative Assistant Program builds on the skills and knowledge that an Administrative Assistant already has in general business education. An applicant wishing to register as a student must be a member of the Association of Administrative Assistants before they can enrol in the QAA Program.

QAA designation holders must remain members in good standing of the Association of Administrative Assistants to retain the designation of Qualified Administrative Assistant and also renew their professional designation every three years through a Certification Renewal process.

The program consists of three compulsory courses and four elective courses offered at over 30 post-secondary institutions across Canada and must be successfully completed within seven years to qualify for the QAA Certificate and designation. Students must successfully complete the seven-course program with an overall grade point average of 60%. The program also includes a work experience component and verification of the core competencies of an Administrative Assistant.
