Events Management Action Program

Mark Chin

President Association of Professional Trainers (Singapore) The Association of Professional Trainers (Singapore), or the APTS, was established in May 2006 by a group of trainers in both the fields of soft-skills and hard-skills. This is a clear sign that the field of learning, and therefore training, is growing rapidly in Singapore. Training is about helping others do better in areas they may already be familiar with. This is achieved by introducing new methods, establishing best practices, reinforcing standards, providing new insights and making the task itself more enjoyable. The APTS aims to assist its members by sharing knowledge and techniques in the field of training in order that their trainees may benefit from higher and ever-improving standards. There are also other programs that enable its members to reach out to the community at large by organizing training festivals that involve the entire body of APTS members. Its objective is to help its members who are professional trainers, or who are aspiring to be professional trainers, achieve higher standards through its programs that are dedicated to exposing them to a wide array of training practices from all disciplines. The aim of these programs is to enable its registered members and guests to network and gain insights into the skills, disciplines and creativity of fellow professionals in the field of training.  The APTS aims to promote the message of “Genuine, Professional and Integrity practices in the art and science of Professional Training“. The pedagogy of Training is an on-going process and the learning journey can never stop if Professional Training is to consistently and constantly scale new heights in Singapore. Genuine + Professional + Integrity.
