AMA has its origin from AITMA (American Information Technology & Management Association dating back to the 1960s in the USA).
As a long-standing educational non-profit organization specialized in providing Business Management training for international enterprises, AITMA has cooperated with Cambridge Academy to conduct a variety of researches and experiments on English training to international students in different cities such as Cambridge, London, Manchester, New York, and Las Vegas with the synergy between AITMA’s information technology and Cambridge Academy’s English teaching experience and skills since 1996.
