Design Category
What Can Be Submitted Under Design?
The Design subscription is designed for eligible professional training courses across creative design, illustration, art skills, architecture, game design, fashion, interiors and related design subjects.
Examples of Design Courses
Eligible Design training can cover a broad range of creative and technical design subjects, from landscape and graphic design through to illustration, architecture, game design, fashion and interiors.
Eligibility is assessed against the actual course content, learning materials and training being delivered rather than the course title alone.

Transparent Accreditation
Clear Information. No Overstated Claims.
Course Accreditation provides independent educational review against its own accreditation framework. Accreditation does not mean that Course Accreditation is a government regulator or statutory awarding body.
Accreditation does not automatically guarantee insurance acceptance, employment, legal compliance or acceptance by another organisation. Training providers should always check the separate legal, professional and insurance requirements relevant to the courses and treatments they offer.
Where insurance is required, providers should confirm cover directly with their chosen insurer and ensure all tutors, treatments and activities are correctly declared.
