The KATCertifiedCreative Industries Expert certificate
The creative industry thrives on professionalism, expertise and trust. With the Creative Industry Expert Certificate, we make precisely this quality visible for companies and creative professionals.
What is the Creative Industry Expert Certificate?
The Creative Industry Expert Certificate is awarded by Kreativwirtschaft Austria (KAT) and recognizes professional, experienced and certified creative professionals from Austria.
For over 15 years, we have been helping creative professionals to grow economically and hone their expertise as part of our creative industry coaching sessions. With this certificate, we make this expertise visible to clients, companies and anyone looking for reliable creative partners for their business.
What the certificate means for companies
You can recognize certified creative professionals at a glance. Certified experts have sound practical know-how and have successfully completed a KAT coaching program. The certificate is stored in the WKÖ’s Company A-Z. Certified creative professionals are therefore easy to find and clearly identified. This makes it easier for you to find the experts who can help your company advance creatively and strategically.
