2012 training sets sail


 
The first training courses for 2012 have started well with full attendance and happy faces. APA has offered its full suite of professional qualification courses from PA Apprentice, PA Professional, PA as a Manager and Module 1 of the Diploma in Personal Assistance this week in Southampton.

Presenters Gareth Osborne and Phil Taylor hosted over 25 PAs from the south coast on the 4 course and reported excellent progress and results. Gareth said: “In this tough financial climate I am glad that both the private and public sectors are investing in their staff and assuring them a careerpath for the future. The PAs reported being busier than ever with increased pressure coming from extra workload; especially management duties, where colleagues have been made redundant. None of them had seen extra reward and three had seen jobs rationalised and pay reduced. Everybody agreed it's tough out there!”


APA training moves to Leeds this week.
