Partnerships with AMA

Custom training and collaboration

Organisations often need training that reflects their audience, sector and working environment. The Academy can develop a program tailored to a specific goal, such as improving interview skills, launching a podcast, strengthening a newsroom workflow, preparing spokespeople or building a digital content team.

We welcome opportunities to collaborate with Australian and international media organisations, education providers, industry specialists and community institutions on course design, guest teaching and practical learning projects.

International Cooperation & Institutional Partnerships

AMA works alongside a growing network of international institutions, universities, professional bodies and media organisations to design and deliver training that meets global standards while remaining grounded in practical, local relevance.

We welcome enquiries from universities, training institutes, media companies and government agencies interested in a training partnership or collaboration with the Academy.
