How to Register
and Prices

Belton Woods Hotel, Grantham
Tuesday 25th to Thursday 27th November 2025

Administration and registration for the 2025 APComm Academy will be provided by Polcomm Training & Development (PCTD) Ltd. The registration form must be completed on-line by a delegated team member and authorised by the Head of Department.

Any queries relating to Academy registration or administration can be directed to: support@pctd.org.uk or call Tony Diggins direct on 07879 604001.

Because of the way the system will operate, a maximum of six delegates can be registered on each form. If you wish to send more than six delegates, simply submit two registration forms.

Submitting your registration will automatically generate an on-screen confirmation that your details have been sent to PCTD and the person registering will then be contacted by PCTD with a quote for the amount the Purchase Order needs to be made for.

Registrations will be accepted on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and will be considered ‘provisional’ until the receipt of the purchase order details which must be received as soon after registration as possible and no later than MONDAY OCTOBER 20th – If your purchase order is not received by that date, to avoid cancellation charges with the hotel, your reservation will be allocated to the next person on the APComm waiting list, or the room returned to the hotel for re-sale.
