The Best of the Best


Congratulations go to the successful participants in the autumn round of the APA Diploma in Personal Assistance (DipPA). The challenging programme was delivered between October and December 2009 with final tests taking place in mid-December and results announced just before Christmas. The course attracted some of the countries best PAs from private and public sector backgrounds.

Participants enthused about the content; with everyone scoring the content and delivery as ‘excellent’, with over 75% feeling it would have an immediate impact on their effectiveness as a PA and the balance suggesting it would enhance their longer term career prospects. Everyone attending felt it had taken their knowledge of business management and direction to a new level.

Gareth Osborne, Director General of APA and one of the course tutors said, “The Diploma is not just another administrative course branded for PAs, this is a programme of dedicated knowledge, skills and tools for those genuinely in support of business leaders. The content is tailored to give better, stronger and more focused training for PAs and truly anchor them as ‘the power beside the throne’. We believe PAs are one of the most important assets in business today and they deserve the best and most relevant skills to reach their full potential.”

“The successful candidates can now us the prestigious designatory letters; DipPA, after their name.”

The next round of APA training programmes commence in January in London, Birmingham and Manchester. For further details go to: http://www.paprofessional.com/apa-training-and-qualifications-open-access.html
