Collectively, the Africa Digital Media community is an innovative learn-and-work social enterprise where young creatives get the training, mentorship and resources they need to turn their passion into a profession. We offer high-spec technical training in creative media and technology, intensive digital and soft-skills coaching and a rigorous apprenticeship process that targets a 100% placement rate.

Our vision is to create hundreds of thousands of African digital professionals and entrepreneurs sharing their creative content with the world for profit and impact.

We believe that the digital revolution offers African youth an unparalleled opportunity to participate in the global economy. With the convergence of media, technology and business, Africans that produce and distribute high-quality content for the global market in a way they could not before.

ADMI is committed to equipping Africa’s digital generation to exploit this historic opening.

The curriculum in each course is being developed in partnership with industry and we prioritise academic articulation and recruitment of faculty advisors from leading international academic institutions. All students are required to participate in at least one international collaborative project or exchange before graduation.

From the outset, students have hands-on access to the latest equipment, including sound studios and computer labs, are taught by practitioners, enjoy early industry exposure and are encouraged to create exportable and monetizable content from their first day in school.

In addition to world-class facilities, ADMI is progressively deploying cutting-edge e-learning tools, including a standardised curriculum and automated assessment, supplemented by high-touch coaches. We strictly enforce a 1:1 student-computer ratio and encourage all community-members to fully exploit any available online and other digital resources.

While ADMI values diversity and creative expression, we also uphold the highest standards of discipline and ethical behaviour. We closely monitor each student and set specific personal and professional development goals for each. Emphasis is placed on professionalism, diligence, engagement, courtesy, ethics and compassion.
