What does accreditation mean and why is it important?

Accreditation is a status earned by schools that meet or exceed certain requirements set by an accrediting commission. These commissions assess and enhance the educational quality of an institution by assuring that a school has consistency in institutional operations, promotes institutional improvement, and provides for public accountability. This means that students can be assured that their school is recognized as a qualified institution of higher learning with approved programs of study that meet recognized academic standards. We employ a professional staff. We have current facilities and equipment. By accepting each accreditation, this school voluntarily undergoes periodic evaluations by teams of qualified examiners (including subject experts and specialists in occupational education and private school administration) who test and review to make sure the school is following the proper accreditation guidelines.
