Film Editing Schools Accreditation

When you are seeking out film editing schools you should consider the source of accreditation as a vital factor in your choice.

If you attend a traditional 4 year college for your film editing course of study, it is likely that the school will be appropriately accredited. But, if you attend a film editing school that only offers film editing courses, then you want to make sure that it is accredited by National Association of Schools of Arts and Design (NASAD).

According to the NASAD website "NASAD is an association of approximately 248 schools of art and design, primarily at the collegiate level, but also including precollegiate and community schools for the visual arts disciplines.

It is the national accrediting agency for art and design and art and design-related disciplines.

The Association also provides information to the public. It produces statistical research, provides professional development for leaders of art and design schools, and engages in policy analysis. "

The bottom line is that the film editing schools that are accredited by NASAD are of the highest quality and provide the best educational opportunity for you. There are short "courses" that you can take, but many of these lack the credentials and accreditation.

When trying to get an actual job after you graduate from film editing school, you will have a much better chance of getting hired if you did in fact attend one of the appropriately accredited film editing schools.
