Recent research from a UK Think Tank has revealed a considerable appetite amongst yadults (young adults) for weekend training and networking sessions.
Never slow to react to changing circumstances, APA has launched, for a trial period initially, an option whereby its Diploma (DipPA) Module 2 programme is spread over a working weekend from Friday pm to Sunday pm.
Delegates arrive for a late Friday afternoon training session followed by a course dinner and scenario-based exercise. On Saturday they can take a swim or gentle spa relation before getting stuck into the main course of PA psychology, leadership skills, time and project management before completing the Diploma Test on Sunday morning.Not for the faint hearted, this action-packed weekend almost certainly has to be squeezed in by busy PAs between two working weeks but, in its usual style, APA strive to make it fun, relaxed and professionally challenging.

I thought the weekend was excellent. We had a great laugh, learned lots and could find ourselves on a fast track to a Diploma. Well done APA I think this wekend format will go down well with PAs.
Weekends are definitely a good idea.
