Certificate and Accreditation

Media School is a non-accredited provider of private education, located in Willemstad, Curaçao. We tend to keep our courses affordable for all the students. Considering the high accreditation costs, we decided to proceed the existence of our school without accreditation as that would lead to increased enrollment costs. In the media industry, certification does not always play a crucial role. Instead, companies want to see what you can do when you apply for a certain position. The expertise of our teachers lead many former Media School students to prestigious national TV stations, independent production companies, newspapers, Radio stations, and other media companies. Some of our students also started their own companies and we will showcase some of these stories in our blog.  

Portfolio

We will help you build an outstanding portfolio, which will list all your production skills and achievements of the program you select; whether it’s graphic, animation, filming or any other course of your preference.

A powerful portfolio will show your talent and creativity to your future production company and that’s the most effective method of demonstrating your skills.

At the end of the course, you will receive a Media School certificate as a memoir of your accomplishments and motivation for your future endeavors!  

 

Studies Duration

The duration of every course is specified in the description of that course. For any additional information, please contact us.
