The ABU Media Academy commenced in 2020 and below you will find the list of courses that we have successfully run and that you may have already participated in. Some of the courses you will recognise as one offs but the majority continue to be offered to our members.
We send out a regular email invitation for our upcoming courses, but there is always the opportunity for our member organisations to request a specific course for your team. If there are courses that we are not currently running and that you would like to see included, please get in touch as we are always happy to hear from you, and look forward to developing new course ideas.
We look forward to hearing from you academy@abu.org.my – subject {course title}
