APA conquers northern Europe


As in the UK, APA’s Scandinavian training is building momentum for the spring and autumn busy periods with courses now running in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark on a regular basis.

APA programme manager, Anders Magnusson, said: “We have just delivered a highly successful programme for new aspiring PAs in Oslo (the ‘PA Apprentice’ course) and the response was wonderful. It is the second we have hosted in the Norwegian capital and a number of delegates from the first course have already found PA positions.”

“APA training is especially relevant and required very little modification to be perfectly matched with the need of Scandinavian PAs. Their role here is very similar to that of UK PAs and we hope to host a group of PAs from London later in the year. We are also making provision for our first course in St. Petersburg, Russia; possibly at the prestigious Corinthia Hotel, and in Amsterdam, Holland.”

Gareth Osborne, Director General of APA said: “We are thrilled by the work Anders is doing in northern Europe and PAs are giving us excellent feedback on the content and quality of our courses; as they do in the UK. We have just finalised discussions with a colleague in southern Europe to replicate our strategies there. It looks like an exciting year ahead for APA.”
