Administrative assistant training in Virginia

29 administrative assistant programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

20 schools offer these administrative assistant programs, and Virginia has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Secretaries and administrative assistants do routine clerical and organizational work: answering phones, scheduling appointments, preparing documents and keeping files. High school graduates comfortable with word processing and spreadsheets typically qualify and learn the job in a few weeks of on-the-job training; some community colleges and technical schools offer courses in office procedures.1

In Virginia, 8 of the 29 programs take students without a high school diploma, 18 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 2 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for an associate degree.

By kind, the 29 programs here are administrative assistant or office certificate (20 programs), microsoft Office and Excel course (4 programs), executive assistant certificate or course (3 programs) and office administration (associate degree, 2 programs).

Where the Virginia administrative assistant program numbers come from

Which Virginia administrative assistant programs are on this list?

These are the administrative assistant programs Virginia approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Virginia offers.

How the prices and results of Virginia administrative assistant programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
