Training Bursaries
APG is a not for profit membership organisation. This means we can make funds available to enhance the overall standing of the planning and strategy community and the skills of individual planners and strategists.
You can make an application for funding of £3,000. You will need to fill in the application form to demonstrate what skills you will learn as a result, and how the training will help you develop as a strategist and hence benefit the community overall.
Applicants should use the bursary initially for specialist planning/strategy training. Please note the possibilities on our site. You may also apply for coaching as part of the APG Bursary Scheme.
APG is piloting a scheme with a group of highly experienced industry mentors. You can put part of your bursary to fund this.
On the form you need to state how you plan to spend the money awarded to you. It does not have to be spent in 2019 and can be carried over to 2020.
Genuine financial hardship/need will be taken into account.
Bursaries will be allocated at the discretion of the APG.
Important dates
Applications will need to be submitted by 29th November 2019. The APG sub-committee will let you know if your application has been accepted after that date.
Questions
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the APG Director, Sarah Newman or the APG Chair, Matt Tanter.

Coaching/mentoring
APG offers coaching packages worth £1,600. These can be a combination of 4 x 60 minute sessions, 2 x 2 hour sessions or a full morning/workshop.
Each of our 4 coaches/mentors has accumulated 25+ years working as a practitioner, manager and/or coach in and around the advertising industry. They also variously teach, write, work as facilitators or run their own independent businesses. All are good listeners, and operate independently of any particular agency.
