our weekend classes are offered in 9 major cities around the country!
why are our courses so popular?
COURSES SATISFY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE AU PAIR EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT
All of our courses are offered through accredited institutions of higher education. It's easy to earn all of the educational hours required for one year by completing one or two of our weekend classes!
COURSES ARE CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE
Weekend courses are the perfect solution for working au pairs. We pack a lot into our courses so you can earn your hours in a short period of time. We also make it possible to take a course that fits into an au pair budget better than most schools.
OUR EXCITING COURSES ARE IN 9 LOCATIONS!
Don't dread sitting in a classroom all weekend! Whichever city you choose, you will also engage in exciting learning opportunities throughout that area with a combination of fun activities, community engagement, and field trips.
WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
All classes for au pairs should be like this! I had so much fun during the classes, and I will attend again if I decide to extend.
This weekend exceeded my expectations! The au pairs were amazing, the instructors were so kind, fun, and easy to approach.
JO-ANNE K, SOUTH AFRICA
I had such a wonderful weekend and I wish it was longer. I've made friends, memories and learned a lot. I would also like to say a huge thank you to the APW staff; they were amazing!
