For agencies
Built to scale global agencies
ClickTrain Academy helps independent agencies build the talent capacity they need - to hire, develop and retain high-performing practitioners as paid media keeps changing.
Talk to us about your team- 01Build the pipeline
Turn junior hires into billable Performance Marketing talent on a live, structured programme.
- 02Grow capacity
Add senior thinking across Google and Meta without slowing down delivery.
- 03Retain your talent
Give people a clear path from fundamentals to leadership, so they stay and grow.
Every quarter a team doesn't retrain, the gap to the platforms widens - and the cost of catching up grows with it.
The instructors
Learn from people who run paid media every day
Every session is taught by a working practitioner. They bring live accounts, real budgets and the decisions they made this week - not slides from three years ago.

Testimonials
Trusted by Talent and Agencies
"We struggled for a long time to find experienced and good staff for the agency. The core issue seemed to have always been the vetting process - that they actually have the skills they claimed to have. ClickTrain eliminated this issue for us. Yes, it definitely feels 'more expensive' than hiring yourself, but the opportunity costs I wasted trying to hire myself probably are much higher by far. The process was smooth, Tyler and Andrew were very professional and friendly, and they were very patient with my needs because I did pivot on my specs and a few candidates. Apologies for that by the way! :-) When we hire again, I'll definitely be using ClickTrain!"
"ClickTrain's insights are incredibly helpful for managing campaigns, especially with their Account Listenr and Insights tool. It's been a game-changer in identifying at-risk accounts while also ensuring staff accountability. From a partnership perspective, our agency has secured a few accounts from our partnership with ClickTrain in less than 2 months. If you're looking for a reliable platform to enhance ad performance and a trustworthy agency partner, I'd highly recommend ClickTrain."
"The ClickTrain team were seamless in finding matching us with a freelancer, organising interviews and mediating the negotiations between us. This was our first time using a PPC freelancer so we were relatively in the dark about the process but they helped us all the way. Would definitely recommend."
