Our Story | The Packaging School

Our mission is to provide accessible and applicable online education to a global audience by training the leaders of tomorrow in the art and science of packaging.

WE MEET THE STANDARDS

The Packaging School is a licensed postsecondary institution.

This means that through the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (License #5400), we have undergone an abundance of steps to provide our students with educational security.

The overall purpose of this process is to prove that we are a well-founded company that is authorized to effectively educate our students.

As a student you’re investing your time and money, so it’s very important to make sure that the certificate program you choose is licensed. Gaining a certificate through a licensed school not only makes your certificate more valuable, but much more reputable as well.
