Training and partnership with corporations

Corporate Training

Our short courses can be attended by individual employees or entire teams, with online and in-person options, either during the workday or in evenings and weekends. Short courses can be purchased individually or as part of a corporate subscription plan bundle. Customised training programs are led by training needs analysis and skill audits, and can be adapted for the organisation by incorporating industry case studies and internal data.

Placement & Recruitment

Our training courses are designed by your professional peers with the workplace in mind, which means that our graduates have spent time developing all the necessary skills, and actual content production and campaign experience to hit the ground running. Our team will work with you to create internship and work placement projects, and present a shortlist of the best-matching candidates. We also offer cadetships where your new hires can train with us part-time, while working for you full-time.

Sponsorship

Our training courses are practical and rich in real-world case studies and client projects because we work with organisations as content partners in an effort to introduce our learners to the brands and workings of an industry. In addition to growing employer brand awareness, sponsoring content and guest speaker opportunities for a particular training topic can further strengthen your positioning and access to the best of our job-ready graduates.

We Believe that the ‘WHY’ shapes the ‘WHAT’ and the ‘HOW’

In this video, our founder Kenneth Yap explains the reason he established Next Level Academy and the difference he is hoping to make.

Our Purpose

The Next Level Academy was founded for one purpose: To help marketing students everywhere close the widening gap between what they must learn for the job and what they were being taught. The problem and impact was too big for us to ignore: (1) So much human potential is wasted because too many graduates are taught the wrong things by the wrong people, and they miss out all the benefits of a marketing career. (2) So much productivity is lost because employers have little choice but to bear the burden of additional time and cost on recruiting, training, and managing employees to make up for their skill gap.

Our Vision

We envision a future where The Next Level Academy will be the Number 1 choice in the world for training and development because we are a marketplace of skills and talent development for both professionals and employers, with the range of training topics and options wide enough to be your lifelong career partner.

Our Values

Our four values guide everything we do, every decision or policy we make, every product or service we design, and every market we enter. If it doesn't sit right with us, we simply won't do it.

  1. We value training and development over ‘education’, just as we value application more than theory. This is why we hire trainers who can ‘walk the talk’ and share their experience having ‘been there, done that’.
  2. We value quality over quantity, just as we value results over promises. This is why we would prefer to have very high graduate employment rates, even if it means that our training is tougher and our classes are smaller.
  3. We value effort over achievement, just as we value progress over perfection. This is why we train only those who are ready to improve themselves today.
  4. We value mentorship over lectureship, just as we value wisdom over knowledge. This is why our trainers spend twice as long demonstrating, observing, and guiding as they do speaking.
