Can you perhaps tell me how accreditation works?
An accredited school meets certain standards set by an independent agency. It helps ensure the training or education you get meets employer standards in a specific field.
Interesting. How do I find out whether there have been any complaints about the school?
Simply contact your local Better Business Bureau, state higher education agency, or the consumer protection division of your state attorney general's office. Check with the agency that licenses or accredits the school to see whether it meets required standards.
