Can I do the training live in-person?
Currently, all APDO training is delivered live online.
I haven't yet decided if a PO career is right for me. Can I still come?
Absolutely. All the courses, particularly the Starting a Professional Organising Business course are ideal ways to learn about the organising industry. You’ll hear anecdotes and experiences from our trainers whichever course you attend and you’ll have space for questions and reflection.
I’m an experienced PO. Is there any training relevant to me?
The ‘working with..’ courses will help you dig deep into specific topic and take your business to a deeper level.
However, do note that experienced Professional Organisers also find the Starting a Professional Organising Business course helpful because it covers a wide range of business topics including promoting your business, and also gives the opportunity to network with other PO’s.

Timings vary – please check out each individual listing on the booking pages

I'm an APDO member. Can I send an assistant to a training course?
You’re welcome to enrol a team member on an APDO training course but the member's discount will only apply to APDO members, not employees or assistants unless they have also joined as members. You may wish to apply for Colleague Membership so that your team member can take advantage of discounts for training as well as our annual conference and other offers and campaigns throughout the year.
