Apprenticeship training
Industry-leading journalism, content and PR & communications apprenticeships training from the UK and Ireland’s national news agency.
Expertly trained apprentices can enhance your company’s productivity, improve retention and power innovation through acquiring cutting edge skills at PA Media Academy.
We are part of the wider PA Media Group, so your apprentices will benefit from training delivered by leading practitioners in our newsroom, content and social media agencies.
We work in partnership with you to tailor media programmes to your needs, while ensuring your apprentices are supported to be confident, creative and ambitious.
Leading employers trust us to deliver an inspiring experience for their apprentices. They include the BBC, News UK, Bloomberg, Sky, the Telegraph, the Financial Times, Haymarket, Evening Standard, the Independent, ITN, Muddy Stilettos, Times Literary Supplement, Havi, and the Soil Association.
Our results speak for themselves: PA Media Academy apprentices regularly win industry awards, stand out in their workplaces, and go on to build stellar careers. We know what it takes to thrive in this ever-changing industry because our small-group training is led by experts who live and breathe it.
Apprentices spend one day a week learning with our specialist trainers, diving into practical skills and industry insights that make a real difference, while the rest of their time is spent putting those skills to work on the job.
Partnering with PA Media Academy means your apprentices will get top-tier training and hands-on support from learning the basics to executing their final projects. We’ve been doing this since 2018, and as an independent training provider, our programmes come quality assured by Ofsted with a ‘Good’ rating across all areas. Read the latest inspection report.
