Are studio teachers accredited by a state board or agency?

Gabrielle Schary (Casting Director) gives expert video advice on: How does a child actor go to school while on a set?; Is the education of a child actor monitored closely? and more...

Yes, you need credentials, and you have to be tested. It's a state given license, so you have to be registered with the state and meet the criteria. If you are a studio teacher, you need to have teaching credentials. If you're a nurse for a baby, you have to have nursing and paediatric credentials. That person is the person responsible for the welfare of the child, so the state makes sure that they're credible, and that they're not just some person that was put in this position.
