Why does my PMU Training need to be accredited? What is accreditation?
Accreditation is a process by which a non-governmental authoritative body evaluates an educational institution and its program(s). The process ensures education providers meet and maintain minimum standards of quality related to academics and administrative practices. Institutional accreditation can be national or regional; generally, regional accreditation is more rigorous.
Certain programs can also attain specialized accreditation that affirms the subject-area content of the program meets professional standards. The accreditation process is typically voluntary unless required by other regulatory bodies. An institution’s accreditation status and the type of accreditation an institution holds may affect financial aid eligibility, the transferability of coursework, eligibility for licensure, and the acceptance of credentials by an employer.
