The WDC Accreditation Program welcomes participation from universities, colleges, higher education partners, and private training providers offering programs and courses in Design and Design Thinking. This program serves as a hallmark, signifying that a course has surpassed specific professional standards established by the WDC in collaboration with industry experts. This accreditation not only distinguishes a course but also enhances its appeal, attracting top-tier students.
Securing accreditation for a course yields significant advantages for students, assuring them that their chosen program aligns with the highest academic and quality benchmarks, thereby enhancing their access to lucrative opportunities in the workplace. Completion of a WDC accredited course grants students exemption from membership requirements and provides them access to WDC resources, information services, professional development activities, as well as career advice and growth opportunities.
