Why Accreditation?

ACCSC, or Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, is an independent accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. ACCSC accredits a wide range of post-secondary career schools and colleges that offer technical and vocational education programs, including those in the fields of health care, business, culinary arts, and skilled trades. When you attend an ACCSC-accredited institution, you are attending a school that has undergone a rigorous process that evaluates educational quality.

ACCSC-accredited institutions focus on vocational, technical, and career-oriented program offerings. Students who attend an ACCSC-accredited school can expect to engage in a learning environment that stresses hands-on training and the development of job-related skills lead by instructors with practical work experience in the field.

More importantly, students can rely upon the accreditation process to hold ACCSC-accredited institutions accountable for providing the training and services necessary to assist students to be successful in their chosen fields of study.
