Digital Skills & Content Courses

Digital skills, content and journalism training from practitioners who understand the potential of digital – and want to help you unleash it.

Digital skills are a key part of success for content creators, journalists and communications professionals. At PA Media Academy, our expert-designed courses reflect current industry needs and practice – whether focused on essential digital writing skills, growing engagement and loyalty, or building newsletters that people really want to read.

Because our trainers are practitioners, courses are stuffed full of practical exercises and chances to put learning into action. We pride ourselves on giving helpful, clear feedback that allows you to progress in your current role – and maybe even consider your next one.

We’re always happy to hear from organisations who like the sound of what we do but can’t quite see a course that fits their needs. We welcome bespoke enquiries and are happy working with delegates at all levels – from new starters or late joiners who need a primer in digital essentials, to directors and senior editors who are looking for new insight.

All our digital skills and content courses are available to book as bespoke training for your team, and some are scheduled as courses available to all that you can book as an individual. Find our current calendar here.

What our students say

View all testimonials

The methods and techniques you learn (and apply) on a daily basis through teaching, coursework and eventually exams crop up again and again in both job applications and jobs themselves – the course content is directly relevant to the realities of the industry.

The lifelike interview settings and tasks that PA Media Training deal in replicate perfectly the real-world feel of a tough media interview and help the delegates come out of the day feeling much more confident that they can play an active role in representing their organisation.

, Director of Communications & Corporate Affairs

What a great session we had on Communicating with Impact. Bridgid shared practical techniques to enhance and develop our communications skills so we can present and speak publicly or to senior stakeholders with confidence and impact.  I speak for my whole team in highly recommending Bridgid Nzekwu if you are after effective and fun communication training.

Not only did I develop the necessary toolkit to become a journalist, but I also did so in an environment that fosters a real sense of community and personal career support.
