To give you a feel for the course, here are two artifacts from the 2025 class — a full syllabus and the class bio book.
The finalized 2026 syllabus and class bio book are published closer to the start of the course.
I’ve worked in state government for 18 years, and this was the most impactful and helpful training I have had. I 100% feel my work will improve from what I learned.
Best government training I’ve taken in 20 years of government work.
PMA deeply expanded my understanding of State government and gave me practical skills to take back to my team. I’m excited to find opportunities to improve my agency’s performance—and measure what matters.
PMA teaches valuable strategies we can use to make strategic decisions, improve internal processes, and accomplish real results.
PMA is a game changer in how you approach your day-to-day work. The course is beneficial whether you are at the entry, mid-career, or experienced level.
This has been such a breath of fresh air. I learned new skills, strategies, and mindset. The Academy is challenging in the best way.
