The French Professional Certification Commission (CNCP) is the inter-ministerial body that accredits public and private training, according to the level of professional skills students can acquire. A very limited number of art and design schools are registered at Level I, the highest level of the French National Committee of Professional Certification (RNCP).
All of the programs developed by the École de Condé meet the requirements of the RNCP.
École de Condé is also a founding member of the Association of Private Schools of Applied Arts (EPAA) which brings together the best design schools in France.
Finally, the interior design courses at École de Condé are recognised by the National Union of Interior Designers (UNAID).
European Accreditation Board of Higher Education Schools (EABHES)
École de Condé has been accredited by EABHES since 1999. EABHES is a private, independent European accreditation body that certifies the value of the ECTS credits awarded. It audits and advises École de Condé in the development of its programs, as well as their compliance with the standards of the Bologna Process. Even if each establishment is free to recruit as it sees fit, the EABHES accreditation considerably increases students’ possibility of pursuing studies abroad. It gives French diplomas additional visibility since they receive an accreditation equivalent to a European Bachelor’s or European Master’s.
ERASMUS accreditation
The Écoles de Condé have renewed their membership in ERASMUS for the period of 2020-2027. This accreditation is essential to ensure the international mobility of our students, as part of exchange agreements but also in the context of internships. As an example, thanks to this programme, around €50,000 of mobility grants are available each year.
