Eviva España


This week has seen the first ever delivery of the APA Diploma (Module 1/PA Professional) in Spain and our resident hispanophile, Maggie Mooney, led an impressive group of experienced Spanish PAs through their paces with great success.

Maggie is a near fluent Spanish speaker but the course was presented in English. with everyone comfortable the international business language. The PAs who all worked for British companies with subsidiaries in and around the Andalucía region gathered at a Marbella hotel in glorious weather to learn about new tools and techniques for PAs and how to maximise the effectiveness of their support for their Boss.

APA’s southern Europe region is growing steadily with members joining from across Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Maggie said: “This was a great course, relaxed, friendly and very creative. Every one of the companies had paid for their PA to stay overnight before the training and it gave us all an opportunity to get to know each other, laugh and really share opinions about the role of a PA. It made training the next day so much more effective. If only UK employers would do the same.”
