ACCREDITATION
Accreditation is the process by which an accrediting agency, using peer-review evaluations, determines whether an educational institution meets standards or criteria the agency has established for acceptable levels of quality in the institution’s academic and/or training programs, student services, administrative operations, and fiscal capability. The U.S. Department of Education (USDE) defines the goal of accreditation to be “to ensure that institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of quality.” The USDE has established regulations to “recognize” those accrediting agencies (“accreditors”) which satisfy the federal regulations. Recognition means that the USDE accepts the accreditor as a reliable authority to evaluate the quality of academic programs and operations of institutions of higher education.
Universal Training Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET)
