About Us

Cairo Media School is the first Media School in Egypt and the Arab world, specializing in international media development and training.
Cairo Media School is a educational establishment powered by the Arab News Agency, which is a part of the Future Network, and is a sister company to Future Media, the CBC TV Network, El Watan Newspaper.
We believe that media career is not exclusive for a specific social category or segment and as they say the circle is always open for new comers, however the truth is, you have to take steady steps to get closer to the center of the circle. Thus updating your skills and qualifications is essential for you to progress further in the Media Greenlight as a performing professional.
The Cairo Media School helps you cross that road from being an ambitious amateur to being a professional person working in the media.
Cairo Media School will guide you through your path to knock on the right door at the right time.

We believe that the approach to entering the media is like being stuck in traffic. Entering the media for the first time for many younger media enthusiasts is mostly faced with obstacles, just like in traffic where the barrier between you and your destination is the red traffic light. During that period media enthusiasts often explore the media industry environment and atmosphere in the most random ways, whilst hoping to grasp an opportunity that helps qualify them to prepare for being a media professional.
This preparation period is also very similar to waiting in traffic, however this time it is like looking at the yellow ready-up light, where everybody ready-ups his engines, waiting for the green light to mark the start of his/her career path as a media professional.
Unfortunately many of the younger media individuals, get stuck in traffic, whilst looking at the yellow light, with no real countdown that indicates when the green light will appear, with a large possibility of never appearing.
We believe that the reason for that is the ineffective preparation to take on the real work environment, standards and necessary qualifications of the media industry.
Accordingly, it is of Cairo Media School’s intention to help young media enthusiasts with their journey, starting from the red light by giving them a true perspective regarding what category of media work suits them the most. And then proceeding to preparing the young media enthusiasts to match the qualifications needed in the local, regional and international media job market. Whilst at the same time presenting them with a countdown and realistic timeframe, just like the yellow traffic lights, in order to be able to anticipate the green light for starting a media career.
Cairo Media School also intends to accompany younger media generations throughout their journey as media professionals after recognizing their greenlight, by being the companion on the passenger side, who provides them with continuous aid and development opportunities to reach the destination that they desire.
