I'm an APDO member. Can I send an assistant to a training course?
If you work with an assistant, you're welcome to enrol them on an APDO training course but the member's discount will only apply to APDO members, not their employees or assistants. You may wish to apply for Colleague Membership so that your assistant can take advantage of discounts for training as well as our annual conference.
