As the professional body for PAs, APA is rightly proud of its professional training and qualifications but there is no higher praise than that received from members and attendees. Here are just two recent examples:“Module 1 of the APA Diploma in Personal Assistance was a real breath of fresh air. It was less about ‘box ticking’ and very much more about analysing the breadth and importance of the role of a modern PA, combined with understanding own team dynamics in order to work smarter and more strategically. This one day course crystallised what I’ve been after from a personal development programme and, just as importantly, it gave me the opportunity to exchange best practice with similarly experienced and dynamic PAs”.

"The APA Diploma in Personal Assistance course was fantastic! It was great to find a tailored programme giving tools and tips for those PAs who are passionate about making the most of their career. It was wonderful to meet so many others on the course who, like me, were keen to extend their role far beyond the traditional definition of 'PA', and add real value to companies at the highest level. I would thoroughly recommend this course, both for the wide ranging content and the great networking opportunities that it provides."
Laura Richardson, PA to the Chairman, Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, ELEXON Limited.

Excellent feedback from the APA members. I'm looking forward to attending the PA as a Manager course.
Yes, thanks to Emma and Laura for their endorsements. It was a great course, and always is. The Diploma attracts good quality and motivated individuals keen to hone their art. We try and make it relevant, challenging and fun. I personally believe it is the best PA programme out there (but I would, wouldn't i!).
Tracy, I'm glad you are going for the PA as a Manager course - it will be perfect for you in your current role.
We are taking bookings now for the next Diploma course; which starts early in the New Year, and remember 2010 will see the launch of the first Foundation Degree for PAs; more news to follow.
Can you tell me if there are plans to hold a Diploma course in Wales? I might be able to convince my Boss to send me on a local course but not London or Manchester.
