What is a Students accreditation?

The Students accreditation gives you access to content especially for students and young talents to assist you in preparing for your future professional career.

The Students accreditation is reserved for students in initial training (on-site or online). High-school students who have chosen a film option, and professional trainees in continuing education are not eligible for this accreditation.

Initial training refers to training undertaken as a student, which is validated by a diploma.

Eligibility Conditions

Students in initial training, actively enrolled on a higher education or university course, must be able to provide documentary proof of their student status in the field of animation, film, multimedia, art, music, gaming, or special effects for the 2025/2026 school year.

Along with their application for an accreditation, they must include a student card showing:

• The student’s last name and first name,
• The school establishment’s name,
• The title of the course,
• The current school year.

If the student card does not show all the requested information, a school attendance certificate, in French or English, issued by your school establishment with the missing information will additionally be required. It will then be necessary to import the certificate AND the student card when registering.

Invoices or any proof of payment will not be accepted.

Accreditation Process

Application for the Students accreditation is carried out online.

Students must upload the mandatory documentary proof onto the Students accreditation application form. Confirmation of Student accreditation will be subject to prior validation by CITIA.

If the application is refused, you will receive an email explaining the reasons for refusal. If the request is approuved, you will receive an email with a link to payment (valid 7 days). Once the payment is received CITIA will process and finalize the Students accreditation.
