About Press Association Training

Press Association Training is part of PA Group, a global family of information and media services businesses. Since 1868, organisations across the world have relied on its unrivalled reputation for providing fast, fair and accurate information.

At the heart of the group lies The Press Association, the national news agency of the UK and Ireland, covering all the news that matters 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Press Association Training was formed in 2006 from the merger of the former Trinity Mirror Editorial Training centre in Newcastle with The Editorial Centre, a training company part-owned by PA.

On acquiring the business, PA Training set about developing the Newcastle centre into a fully-integrated, multi media, journalism training programme.

The centre continues to provide a training service to Trinity Mirror, its former owners, and 16 of the delegates on each of the courses come from that group.

The foundation course is just one part though of a much bigger training business.

It provides journalism and media training courses to clients throughout the world from editor level downwards.

We work with many of the UK’s national newspaper groups, including the Daily Mail, Telegraph group and The Sun.

In all, we have three, fully equipped training centres, including the one in Newcastle. The others are in London and Howden, East Yorkshire, next to PA Group’s operations centre.
