The Academy was originally established as Foreign Affairs Academy in 1968, was later renamed to Training Center in 1994, and eventually took its current designation, "Diplomacy Academy" under the 2010 legal overhaul that redesigned Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey and gave the Academy a larger spectrum of tasks, including:
International Junior Diplomats Training Program is the Academy's biggest annual undertaking.
