 In order to keep abreast with latest techniques and trends, training of professionals in their respective fields is always considered important in progressive broadcasting organizations. Pakistan Television with the help of German Government set up its first Central Training Institute (CTI) in 1967. CTI was housed temporarily in the premises of Television Centre, Chaklala, Rawalpindi. Subsequently, it grew and developed and in 1978 Engineering Training Cell was established.
In house training
for PTV Engineers was offered. Production of TV programmes depends on craft
oriented professional Producers, Engineers, Set Designers and Cameramen. To
cater the required needs of technical training for Producers, Cameramen and
Designers, Programme Training Cell was established in 1984.
The main
project of the academy was approved in 1981 with an estimate of Rs.33.9 million
from the Government, whereas PTV had to contribute Rs.9.7 million in form of
old/used equipment, both programme and engineering cell were working in rented
buildings before moving to the present premises.
In 1988, Engineering
and Programme divisions were relocated in the existing building. It is carefully
planned building which provides excellent facilities to the participants and
creates an enabling academic environment for learning and development.
PTV training academy is a semi autonomous unit under the administrative control
of Pakistan Television Corporation and Ministry of Information & Media
Development. It is managed by PTV. A Director is appointed by PTV as Director
