Winter chill hits training

APA got a cold reception in Helsinki when the latest batch of diploma candidates met for their final training and test. The weather had plummeted to -18ºC but it was bright and bracing and, so they told us, typically Finnish..

Finland and its neighbouring Scandinavian countries are proving to be a valuable training ground for APA and PAs are keen to attend accredited courses with the potential to move on afterwards to degree level qualifications. The latest course, again delivered in Espoo, attracted an experienced group of PAs who scored the course content as; excellent (75%) and very good (25%) and the joint delivery by Gareth Osborne and Anders Magnusson as excellent.

Diploma course are already running in the UK with others to follow imminently in other northern European locations. Gareth said: “We hope to anchor our operation with the launch of APA Scandinavia in the coming months and from there, address some of the other northern EU countries. We currently have interest from Spain, France and Italy and hope to become more engaged there too.”

APA courses will be running in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark throughout the year and can be booked by contacting training@paprofessional.com .
