Dippa I feel for you.  It seems those employed in more specialised roles are always encouraged to progress and develop.  This is something I have always felt strongly about and yes it seems at times we are under-valued.

A lot of employers do not feel it is necessary for admins to attend courses or engage in professional development programmes.  My question would be....how do you expect to retain your administrative staff if you do not encourage and develop them?  It is discrimination against all those who provide administrative support.

Perhaps there are financial restraints around future training for you and other admins or perhaps there is a fear you may move on to bigger and better things.
 
Have you addressed the issue and ascertained why your training has suddenly been halted?
