The BeCoS Professional Chief of Staff CPD Accreditation
Empowering Every Chief of Staff to Lead From Every Seat at the Table.
What We Offer
We specialise in working with you to help you be the best Chief of Staff within your business. Our CPD Accreditation allows you to sit and lead from every seat at the table with confidence, clarity and influence.
The new Chief of Staff professional of today
The Chief of Staff function has become one of the most strategically significant roles in modern business, yet organisations have lacked a rigorous, structured route for developing it.
BeCoS provides that route: a CPD-accredited programme that builds the strategic capability, executive presence and commercial fluency the role demands, grounded in real board-level and C-suite experience.
As recognition of the Chief of Staff role continues to grow across the UK and Europe, BeCoS is leading the way, delivering the UK's first CPD-certified programme built specifically to develop Chiefs of Staff to a recognised professional standard.
Who this course is for:
Newly appointed or aspiring Chiefs of Staff seeking a rigorous, structured framework for the role
Senior Executive Assistants and Business Support professionals positioning themselves for strategic, Chief of Staff–level responsibility
Professionals transitioning from operational delivery to strategic partnership with the CEO and Board

Introducing The BeCoS Chief of Staff Professional CPD Certification.
Enabling you to empower your career.
This is why CPD matters.
Develop, learn, and elevate yourself with accreditation that matters.
Unlike most other senior business roles, the Chief of Staff is a fast-moving and highly rewarding position, one that gives leaders across every sector the ability to get more done, whilst offering a fulfilling path for anyone who thrives on strategy, problem-solving, and close collaboration with senior teams.
Despite this, the role is rarely taught, not in most workplaces, and not on any business degree, leaving newcomers to figure out its many demands largely on their own.
Continuing Professional Development guarantees that what you learn is properly structured, formally recognised, and measured against a consistent professional benchmark, giving you a qualification that carries genuine weight with employers and colleagues, along with a clear, coherent path to mastering the role rather than picking it up in fragments.
We work with ambitious, capable Chief of Staff, Executive Assistants and Business Support professionals who:
Operate at senior or executive level
Balance high expectations with complex responsibilities
Want to be recognised as strategic, not just operational
Are ready to invest in their growth, confidence, and leadership presence
Care about results and wellbeing
Want to learn and develop within this exciting role.
