International activity grows


“PAs in the Scandinavian countries are rushing to take an APA PA qualification course at one of our five locations across the region,” says Anders Magnusson, the local APA Trainer. He reports high take up in Finland and Sweden with Norway and Denmark catching up fast.

“There has been a lack of any substantial training in the region and APA has brought its superbly professional programmes at just the right time. PAs in this region have many similar, but some quite different, issues but the training is so flexible eit allows us to embrace all of their needs. Having had great PAs myself I know what CEOs want from their assistant and can help the attendees recognise how best to support their leaders,” says Anders.

“We are already targeting a course per week in each of the countries and expect demand to grow even more in 2012. Naturally APA membership in the region is growing at the same time.”
