Certification & Standards
National certification, open to every practitioner
Formal assessment and certification of communication and media practice — whether or not you've ever set foot on a KSC campus as a student.
Statutory basis
"The School shall provide education, training, professional development, assessment and certification in communication, creative arts, and mass media."
Certification is a distinct statutory power, separate from academic diploma awards — this Centre exists specifically to serve practitioners who may never enrol as students.
