PMA trains a significant proportion of the UK's magazine publishing market, as well as internal and external communicators within British industry and the public sector. PMA undertakes training for many national and regional newspapers too. The cross-over with the PR industry has brought many of the top PR companies to PMA for staff training. The skills transfer from journalism to PR has improved the insights of the PR industry and also of journalists. PMA's strength lies in the range and expertise of its tutors. They include many leading names in the newspaper, magazine, on-line, design and PR industries. Just take a glance at the Tutor section on this site.
