Join the APG.

The Mission of the APG is to help golf businesses thrive & grow the game by providing cutting-edge educational and certification programs which enables passionate individuals to thrive in the golf industry or succeed as golf business owners.

The APG focuses on helping public golf courses, indoor golf facilities & golf-related businesses as well as individuals seeking a rewarding and fulfilling career in the golf industry.

We do this through a 4-month certification program via the APG Academy that guides individuals through a discovery & training process in the areas within the golf business industry that best matches their skills, passions, ideal work-life balance & financial goals.

The APG certification program includes hands-on, paid internships working within their area of specialty, post graduation job placement assistance, and life-long support to help all graduates fulfill their potential both personally and professionally while making the largest possible positive impact.

Following graduation, APG-certified individuals gain access to continuing education training and the ability to stay connected with APG instructors & other APG graduates for lifelong mentorship, growth and networking opportunities through the APG Community Portal.

As passionate golfers, APG-certified individuals also have the opportunity to play in local, regional, national & global team golf events for friendly competition, camaraderie and large prize purses.

APG students enroll in a 4 month certification program that includes all educational and training materials as well as placement into a paid, hands-on internship that enables them to learn from the best in the industry while earning more than the cost of the program.

Upon successful completion of the certification program, graduates receive official APG certification with the ability to list “APG” (eg. John Doe, APG) after their name to publicly validate their commitment to learning & training in their area of specialty and to assist with resume validation.
