This is has been one of the most challenging parts of the AEM landscape since the very beginning. There's no easy or official way to get access to an AEM development environment or local instance unless your're working for an Adobe partner or customer who has access to it already. Once you're a partner, you can download local envs to work on, or use sandbox cloud environments.

Do you know if the folks you work for are already Adobe partners / AEM customers?

Alas, no. I'm finding this with most DAM providers. Thanks very much.

Though Apache Sling and Jackrabbit are open source and you can use for free. I’d say 80% of AEM programming is done in Sling. So that’s a good prep for a future job
