Practitioner accreditation by the SDN
The Practitioner Accreditation programme by the Service Design Network (SDN) will validate credibility and expertise in service design.
Candidates who have participated in service design training by the SDN or other institutions – single or cumulative courses adding up to minimum 32 hours of training, including the completion of a practical training case – and/or have been practicing service design in a professional capacity for 1+ year will qualify to participate.
The standardised accreditation process will be supported by the global pool of Service Design Accredited Trainers and Masters of the SDN and it will consist of the following steps:
Get official recognition by the SDN for knowledge and practical application of service design process, principles, methods and tools
What means to be an Accredited Practitioner
Candidates successfully accredited will hold the status of Service DesignAccredited Practitioner for the period of 2 years and become a member of our international network of high quality service design professionals, and as such will be recognised and promoted as a skilled service design practitioner and a quality partner of the SDN.
After the 2 years period, accredited practitioners can choose to renew their accreditation status or upgrade to Trainer Accreditation by following specific requirements.
