Of course. Are you currently researching colleges and career schools?
No, I didn't start yet.
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.
Can I find the cost of a college somewhere?
Yes, you can look up the cost and assess the value of colleges using the College Scorecard.
Is there any method to get a feel for a school you can recommend?
