Short Course Accreditation
What is CILIP Short Course Accreditation?
CILIP accreditation stands for quality. The CILIP accreditation certifies quality learning and delivery as well as relevance to the employment market.
Short Course Accreditation offers the same quality guarantee to shorter and modular courses which don’t lead to a formal qualification. This includes modular courses, day courses and online courses within the Library, Knowledge or Information field.
All CILIP Accredited Short Courses meet the following criteria:
- Relevance of the course to the professional standard, CILIP’s Professional Knowledge and Skills Base (PKSB).
- The learning provider is providing a high-quality learning experience.
- The learning provider engages with employers to ensure that programmes are relevant.
- Staff and trainers are up to date with current professional practice.
- Students are encouraged to engage with their professional body CILIP.
