Questions to ask when choosing a school:
The US Dept of Education offers some good advice on questions to ask when
choosing business and vocational schools:
- Is the school accredited?
Accreditation is a good basic indicator of quality, although not every school chooses to be accredited.
If a school is accredited by a nationally recognized agency, it means it has met certain quality standards established by the accrediting agency.
- Is the business and vocational school licensed?
Most states have laws requiring that career colleges and technical or business and vocational schools be licensed or certified to offer instructional courses and programs.
If a school has a license to operate, it means it has gone through a process to make sure that it meets certain standards.
Please note that some states do not require certain schools to be licensed or certified to operate legally in the state.
- Look at several business and vocational schools.
- Compare their programs, schedule, price/cost, financial aid availability, campus facilities and other factors that are important to you before making a decision.
