AMA Awards and Recognition
For more than 100 years, the American Management Association has been recognized by leading industry award programs for the quality of its leadership development, corporate training and learning technology, including consecutive recognition from Training Magazine Network and Brandon Hall Group.
Award-Winning Corporate Training and Leadership Development
AMA's awards come from judges and peers in the corporate learning and development community who recognize training and development programs based on their outcomes. Organizations that support their leaders and high-potential talent through AMA programs experience the results for themselves. That track record is why AMA has been recognized year after year for its content and course library, its instructor network and the practical skills they build.
AMA's management and leadership development curriculum is one of the most-recognized and relevant portfolios in the industry. The catalog spans foundational courses for first-time managers through advanced programs for senior executives, covering the communication, decision-making and strategic thinking skills today's leaders need.
AMA's corporate solutions bring that same content into customized engagements for enterprise clients. Whether the need is a single onsite workshop, a multi-cohort leadership academy or a fully customized learning journey, the corporate solutions team designs programs around specific business outcomes. AMA's blended learning solutions, recognized by the 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards, give large organizations a scalable way to deliver consistent leadership development across distributed workforces.
