accredited tutor assessments

Any tutor who is a member of CLAS is welcome to apply for accreditation.

CLAS offers applicants the opportunity to be accredited by a panel of highly experienced and qualified tutors, who have personally demonstrated the very highest level of calligraphic standards.

Once assessed and recognised by CLAS, tutors’ names will be listed on the website and will be eligible to be included in the CLAS Tutors and Talkers list which is also published on the website.

requirements for accreditation

  • The applicant must have attained at least the CLAS National Diploma at Intermediate level with a merit, or an equivalent standard. (Please click on the link to the application form, at the foot of the page, for a list of other acceptable calligraphic achievements). This is mandatory.

  • The applicant must either have a recognised teaching qualification (acceptable qualifications are listed on the application form), or undertake a written study “Developing Students’ Learning”. This is an in-depth description of how you plan, develop, deliver, and evaluate a programme of work with a class, and should cover 8-10 consecutive two-hour lessons or an equivalent series of linked workshops with the same students.  Details of what is required can be found by clicking the link below.

 

  • The applicant must submit their own exemplars in the following hands: Foundational, Roman Capitals, Italic and Uncial.  Other hands may also be included if wished. Guidance on producing exemplars is available on the link below.
