For students who complete our two-year program, the Classic Planning Academy provides an extended Accreditation Program, which is a highly ambitious program undertaken over four years at the candidate’s own pace. Based on study, travel and on-site and professional experience, students earn a professional-level accreditation issued by the Classic Planning Institute with the right to use the relevant post-nominals. To acquire the accreditation, the candidate completes:

​

• A one-year building arts practicum with hands-on experience in 40 different trades;

• One year of Academy-guided, self-funded or philanthropically funded world travel; and

• A two-year apprenticeship in an architectural or planning studio or office.

​

The Accreditation Program is the most holistic and comprehensive course of its type in the world. Candidates specialise in architecture, planning or the building arts. Certain university-level prerequisites in science, the arts and technical studies are required for accreditation. Contact us to find out more.
