Who we are
We were founded in 2016 as a higher education provider, originally under the name of Arts Institute Keass. In 2021 Arts Institute Keass underwent a restructuring and became what it is today, the Academy of Creative Education (ACE), which is, now, not only a higher education provider but an all-level certification board. From junior co-curricular courses to pre-doctorate programmes, we have franchised our curricula and are proudly represented by students, academics, and partners worldwide. The qualifications we provide are internationally recognised programmes dedicated to the training and development of creative thinking for people in the art and design sectors. Our various courses and progression pathways provide top-quality, contemporary teaching and research opportunities for all. Studying on an ACE qualification will enable budding creatives to hone their artistic and problem-solving abilities before setting out to further education or for a professional life in the arts.
Qualifications Development & Certification
The Academy of Creative Education (ACE) provides qualifications for all levels of education (up to pre-doctorate level), from Junior co-curricular initiatives to ACE pre-doctorate Art & Design curriculum. Our courses all provide advanced and contemporary curricula which integrate practical and conceptual training. We are continually expanding and franchising, all the while remaining innovative and dynamic. Our certification board status enables us to have a broad educational outreach and allows for the implementation of our curricula in various affiliated study centres across Asia. All study centres that provide ACE programs are approved, continuously surveyed, and kept up to date at the discretion of ACE certification board. We firmly support the belief that all creative education should be learner-centred, and it is with this in mind that the individual student is at the heart of all that we do.

In developing and maintaining these various curricula, ACE is enthusiastic about solidifying our reputation as a pioneering organisation in international creative arts education.

ACE has a dedicated subsect of its operation dedicated to spearheading research in art and design education and as a part of this effort we host many international networking opportunities such as global fora, exhibitions, seminars etc.,
Business & Partnership
The Academy of Creative Education values our partners in business, research, and educational innovation, from renowned international higher education institutions to leaders worldwide in the art and design industries. Through various collaborative enterprises, from recognising our qualifications to co-hosting events and taking part in our initiatives, our partners have come to mean a great deal to us, and we would not be where we are now without them.
