Accreditation or Approval

PTVT requires proof that the school is accredited by an accrediting commission of career schools and colleges, accrediting council for continuing education and training, or an accrediting bureau of health education schools; provided that in lieu of such accreditation, the school may provide a letter from relevant state, federal, or other licensing authority demonstrating that the private trade, vocational, or technical school's curriculum is sufficient to prepare a graduate to qualify for professional licensure.  

It is strongly recommended to seek accreditation from agencies that are recognized by the US Department of Education.  This will not only add validity to your school but also allow your school to qualify for financial aid  and other assistance from the federal government.
