Licensing, Accreditation and ApprovalsAccreditation is a complicated area that is often misunderstood. While accreditation is significant, it is important to remember that accreditation does not guarantee a great education. Accreditation focuses primarily on the administrative and financial ability of the school. Education is too difficult to evaluate as it is much more unique. Accreditation is a voluntary process that identifies and acknowledges educational programs and/or institutions for achieving and maintaining a level of quality, performance, and integrity that meets meaningful standards. Accreditation is a major way that students, families, government officials, and the press know that an institution or program meets a high standard for administrative compliance and financial stability. The three major categories of accreditation are:
The first level is the most rigorous and itself has multiple levels of accreditation for various types of schools. There is a great deal of overlap between accrediting companies and schools select different accrediting companies for various reasons. The standards have slight variations but the process is relatively the same. Some schools may attempt to assign superior value to their school or program based on their accreditation. This is not an honest portrayal. The best indicator of a school's quality is found in the success of the graduates and the reputation of the school with employers. Our goal is to greatly exceed the standards of accreditation and provide programs that offer an educational experience that is outstanding. We are passionate about making you as successful as possible and redefining education to be a significant life enhancing experience. We look forward to working with you to reach new levels of confidence, knowledge and success in your life.
