British Accreditation Council (BAC)

A BAC accreditation is recognised the world over by students, agents and government officials as the clearest mark of educational quality in the private sector.

Alongside the British Council the BAC have overseen the inspection of private post-16 education for over 30 years.

I would certainly recommend the Post Grad Dip to friends or other students looking to gain a professional qualification, so many new skills to learn, to support future opportunities in the visual arts field.

The support I get from the student community and my tutor are essential. It isn't always easy and it's clearly demanding, but the whole experience is extraordinary and one of the best investments I've ever made.

This course has taken me on an amazing journey - there has been a lot of learning with tutors who have given constructive feedback to help with progression. It moreover gave me the opportunity to study from home. Such a worthwhile and enjoyable course!

Between the forums online and our Facebook page I feel more connected with students and staff and I never feel silly asking my tutor even the most basic of questions! I'm particularly impressed with the feedback I get when I hand in my assignments - it is very detailed, constructive and helpful.
