top of page

Consider your goals as you choose a university, college, or training provider. Do you seek training to get a job? Will an employer accept the training? Does transferability of courses matter? Do not make judgments about the quality of an institution or program solely on accreditation or information the institution provides. Accreditation or licensure is not an endorsement or guarantee of quality.
