Founded in 2019, Avanza Training Academy is a centre of excellence, where providing a high-quality professional development experience is our priority

Our Mission, Vision & Values

Founded in 2019, Avanza Training Academy is a centre of excellence built on the principle of providing an inspiring, supportive, and caring learning environment for both students and staff. We prioritize collaboration, where learning is a shared journey between lecturer and student. Licensed by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority (MFHEA, Licence № 2019-004), Avanza is driven by three core values:

Inspire

We believe true education comes from inspiring minds, not just filling them with knowledge. Our students are encouraged to interpret, explore, and innovate—fostering a sense of empowerment that leads to creative inspiration.

Support

A supportive environment nurtures curiosity and intellectual growth. We ensure our students are academically and professionally guided, making learning a journey of discovery rather than a mere consumption of facts.

Care

Caring is at the heart of everything we do. We value every student as an individual, respecting their ideas and perspectives. Our goal is to provide education that meets the intellectual and emotional needs of our students and the broader community.
