About Star Achievement Series ®

AdminUniverse™ is proud to be an authorized user and training facilitator for the Star Achievement Series® created by Joan Burge, founder and CEO, Office Dynamics International. Since 1990, this ground-breaking program has been a training staple for world-class employers who value administrative effectiveness and workplace excellence.

The Star Achievement Series® is built upon Office Dynamics’ innovative workplace philosophy, star performance. More than a training concept, Star Achievement is way to think, be and perform. The program consists of 3 Levels of learning. Each Level consists of 4 full day modules (workshops). The Levels do not correlate to the number of years someone has been in the profession. The Levels relate to the concepts and philosophies taught in the Star Achievement Series®, which is similar to a college course.

Innovative Curriculum

Each Level offers a high-energy curriculum, interactive learning techniques and progressive reinforcement of key learning points that have a cumulative effect on performance over time. While some of the module topics listed may sound similar to other training programs, please keep in mind that these topics are combined in such a way as to be most effective when implemented cumulatively. The information presented in each module expands upon the previous module’s content, growing in complexity as the Series progresses enhancing the learning experience.
