The height of Diplomacy

Places are filling quickly for the next APA Diploma in Personal Assistance (DipPA) course starting on 1st September 2009. But a few remain and PAs interested in elevating their knowledge to the next level and adding the prestigious DipPA letters to their name are encouraged to register now.

In some areas of the UK Companies may be eligible for funding from Business Link or the Learning and Skills Council of up to a £1,000 towards the cost of the training.

Gareth Osborne, Director General of APA and one of the presenters on the course says, ”This is a challenging programme and really tests the knowledge and skills of a PA but passing it will set them amongst the professionals elite and genuinely lift their knowledge base above that of a qualified manager. The Diploma is currently the highest achievement in the profession and sets the scene for the new Foundation Degree; under development at this time and due to be launched in 2010. There is no better time for businesses to invest in training and prepare for the return to a growing economy with all the tolls and skills in place to take full advantage of it.”

PAs wanting more information about the programme can visit the Training Zone featured on the navigation bar on the APA Home Page or email shelley.young@paprofessional.com.
