The Alliance of Philippine Community Organisations (APCO) is encouraging its affiliate association members to take advantage of a free course in events management running later this month.

Ruben Amores, past APCO president, said interested parties just need to mention to the course manager that they belong to APCO (or another group, ASCON).

This is a joint initiative of the Auburn City Council and TAFE SWSI.

The course details are below:
