Apply for Skillset Accreditation of your Animation course
Skillset works with the animation industry to accredit undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses that provide the best preparation for students to enter the industry.
Accredited courses bear the Skillset Tick, a kite mark of quality for the industry, an indication of quality assurance of the very best in training and education.
The aim of the accreditation scheme is to facilitate strong links between higher education institutions, the animation industry and Skillset to ensure that:
- the courses remain relevant to the needs of the industry;
- the students develop the skills and knowledge the industry requires;
- and employers can rely on graduates of accredited courses to perform at the standard they expect.
Accreditation is awarded initially for three years.
