The visitation, which took place on 18th July, 2025, represents a significant milestone in the Academy’s pursuit of national recognition and its commitment to academic excellence in the creative and multimedia industry. The NBTE accreditation exercise is a critical step toward officially certifying the Academy’s diploma and certificate programs, thereby ensuring they meet national standards and can contribute meaningfully to Nigeria's educational and economic development.

Curriculum structure and alignment with NBTE standards
Availability and quality of teaching staff
State-of-the-art multimedia and ICT facilities
Administrative processes and student support services
Health, safety, and infrastructure adequacy
During the visit, the NBTE team engaged in rigorous inspections of the classrooms, production studios, photography labs, editing suites, computer rooms, and learning resource centers. They also held interviews and interactive sessions with management, academic staff, and students to get a comprehensive picture of the learning environment.
