History of ABMA

The education experts that formed the ABMA Advisory Board have been helping students to reach their job aspirations since 1963. Drawing from almost 50 years of experience in further and higher education, ABMA has developed a range of qualifications that offer more specialised alternatives to traditional educational programmes.

ABMA’s early vocational programme portfolio focused on business management and following initial expansion, developed to include human resources, sales and marketing, computing and leisure and tourism. As the organisation developed and following feedback from partner training organisations worldwide, additional qualifications such as shipping and journalism have been added to ABMA’s Programme Portfolio.

Subsequent developments of the ABMA Programme Portfolio have followed with the development of two programmes within the health care and public service sectors as well as a business programme designed to develop a student’s entrepreneurial skills.

Today, ABMA provides school leavers and professionals with qualifications that enable them to attend university or gain a managerial level position in a broad range of industry sectors.
