A message from our Managing Director, Dr John Martin Cass

"As Managing Director and founder of JMC Academy, I am often asked... what makes JMC Academy unique?

Our uniqueness is defined by our people. It is defined by the individuality, distinct talents, personal histories, and achievements of each of our lecturers, and of each and every one of our students. It is the way these all interact to create the unique dynamics and superior outcomes delivered in every course.

It is defined by the recognition and respect we have earned over the years by industry leaders and by academics; reflected through our extensive and ground-breaking industry accreditation, incomparable Higher Education courses and the successes achieved by thousands of JMC Academy graduates.

For our students, the advantages of studying at a private Higher Education institution include the ability to gain critical level thinking inherent in the higher education curriculum whilst simultaneously benefiting from the production based, industry-responsive practical component taught by proven professionals in each course. This ensures our graduates are industry-ready when commencing and developing in their chosen careers."
