Qualifications boom this autumn

APA is preparing itself for the busiest training season ever as autumn approaches; it has major contracts running with two government departments, a national executive agency and 3 major corporates all from diverse and challenging sectors. And these are in addition to its regular qualification programmes running at locations across the UK and Europe.

The APA Diploma (DipPA) is continuing to attract a high level of enrolments in the UK; with many autumn courses already full or having only a few places remaining. This is also true in Scandinavia and Germany where the Diploma is equally the ‘must complete’ qualification for PAs.

Gareth Osborne, Director General of APA said: “The Diploma is the most rewarding programme for all experienced, professional PAs, it embraces new tools and techniques to help maximise the effectiveness of their Boss and explores some exceptionally valuable management and leadership skills to help elevate the PAs involvement in the organisation.”

With more and more PAs playing an important role in Project Management the Diploma equips them for the toughest challenge – not just the staff Christmas Party.
