Training framework
The new AdSchool program delivers nationally recognised courses, taught by the industry’s best. Designed to be engaging, interactive and thought provoking, the courses have two main elements, a recorded lecture and a working tutorial session where participants can put theory into action.
Our IPA Residential and Online courses have international certification and are recognised as world leading in the marketing communications industry; from fundamentals for new-starters through to challenging residentials for senior executives and senior strategists.
The Australasian Writers and Art Directors (AWARD) is a non-political, non-profit organisation with but a single idea: the raising of standards in all creative areas. The AWARD training programs are essential for anyone looking to nurture the craft of brand storytelling.
