I've started, so I'll Finnish

APA Training has finished on a high with its final qualification programme of the year, for the prestigious Diploma (DipPA), taking place in Sweden this weekend.

Course leader, Anders Magnusson said: “The Diploma has been exceptionally well received in all of the Scandinavian countries and we anticipate even greater take-up in 2012. APA’s DG, Gareth Osborne, has long been recognised as an innovation guru in this region and has worked with private sector and Helsinki university partners to embed the PA programmes in plans for business development. We have delivered a number of courses in Sweden and Finland and our first in Denmark in 2011. When we deliver an Oslo programme in January we can genuinely suggest APA has region-wide coverage.”

Gareth Osborne said: “Scandinavian PAs have all the challenges and frustration UK PAs face. With outstanding knowledge of English they are great to teach and benefit enormously from the knowledge we share. We plan to take a group of UK PAs to meet them next year.”
