accreditation is what assures people that your school is backed by the education system/government standards... although your school has an awesome reputation now, if it was not accredited i can assure you that reputation would go right in the toilet.

You have a diploma, not a degree. The CIC accreditations look very good, so you might find it is accepted as a degree but  on its website, CIC does not seem to have degree-awarding powers.The best way to find out how to continue your education is to apply to some UK universities for a Masters degree in Accounting. They will tell you whether your diploma is high enough to join a postgraduate course or whether you need to compete a first degree. For a list of UK universities, click the link below.

Chech first with the U.S. Department of Education and the Distance Education Training Council. Many schools now offer education on a distance learning mode. Most are legitimate, accredited institutions. Unfortunately, there are many others who operate as mere diploma mills, wherein you basically buy your diploma and you get nothing but a scrap of paper and a degree recognized by noone.\n\nAmong the recognized, legitimate, and leaders in the field are Penn Foster Career School, and Professional Career and Development Institute. Check them out at www.pennfoster.org, and www.pcdi.org. To check accreditation, log on to www.detc.org.

Can you not simply contact the ministry of education for that information?  Otherwise, check with any local University and they can provide or guide you toward what you want to know.

The University needs to supply you with this information.  ask the college who accredits them, then ask the college you may want to transfer to if they accept that accrediation.  If your college lies about the accredidation and you have proof that they said they were, you can sue for all your tuition.

Do you remember if the school was accredited? If so, try contacting the accreditation group(?) to see if they can help. One of the more common groups is the "North Central Association." Try the link below, and good luck:

I don't know but they don't sound like they are regionally accredited. Regional accreditation means everything. National accreditation means nothing! Be sure to check that! It's very very important.

It depends on the accreditation. Accredited degrees that are approved by US Department of Education recognized agencies are just as good as the traditional college or university. \n\nDegrees from colleges and universities that claim to be accredited, but who's accreditation institution is not recognized by the Department of Education are worthless.\nI have added a list at the end of these worthless accreditation agencies.\n\nNext are phony degrees. They are out there, but are just garbage.\n\nUnrecognized accreditation agencies\n----------------------------------\nAccrediting Commission International (ACI) (in Arkansas) \nAccrediting Council for Colleges and Schoools (ACCS) \nAccreditation Governing Commission of the United States of America \nAlternative Institution Accrediting Association (AIAA) \nAmerican Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions (AATI) \nAmerican Association of Non-traditional Colleges and Universities (AANCU) \nAmerican Association of Drugless Practitioners Commission on Accreditation (AADPCA) \nAmerican Association of International Medical Graduates (AAIMG) \nAmerican Association of Schools (AAS) \nAmerican Council of Private Colleges and Universities (ACPCU) \nAmerican Federation of Christian Colleges and Schools (AFCCS) \nAmerican Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board (ANMCAB) \nArizona Commission of Non-Traditional Private Postsecondary Education \nAssociation for Distance Learning (ADLP) \nAssociation for Online Academic Excellence (AOAE) (in Wales) \nAssociation of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools (in Louisiana) \nAssociation of Christian Schools International (ACSI) \nBoard of Online Universities Accreditation (BOUA) \nCentral States Consortium of Colleges & Schools (CSCCS) \nCentral States Council on Distance Education (CSCDE) \nCommission on Medical Denturitry Accreditation (COMDA) \nCouncil for International Education Accreditation (CIEA) \nCouncil on Medical Denturitry Education (COMDE) \nDistance Graduation Accrediting Association \nDistance Learning Council of Europe (DLCE) (connected to University Degree Program) \nEuropean Committee for Home and Online Education (ECHOE) \nEuropean Council for Distance and Open Learning (ECDOE) (connected to University Degree Program) \nEuropean Quality Improvement System (EQIS) \nExamining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners (EBNMP) \nGlobal Accreditation Commission (GAC) \nHigher Education Accreditation Commission (HEAC) \nHigher Education Services Association (HESA) (connected to University Degree Program) \nIntegra Accreditation Association (IAA) \nInter-Collegiate Joint Committee on Academic Standards (ICJCAS) \nInternational Academic Accrediting Commission (IAAC) \nInternational Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) \nInternational Accreditation Association (IAA) \nInternational Accreditation for Universities, Colleges and Institutes (IAUCI) \nInternational Accrediting Association for Colleges and Universities (IAACU) \nInternational Accrediting Commission for Postsecondary Institutions (IACPI) \nInternational Association of Educators for World Peace (There are different groups by the same name though none are authorized accreditors.) \nInternational Association of Universities and Schools (IAUS) \nInternational Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) \nInternational Commission of Open Post Secondary Education (ICOPSE) \nInternational Council for Open and Distance Education (ICODE) \nInternational University Accrediting Association (IUAA) (in California) \nMiddle States Accrediting Board (MSAB) \nMidwestern States Accreditation Agency (MSAA) \nNational Academy of Higher Education (NAHE) \nNational Accreditation Association (NAA) \nNational Association for Private Post-Secondary Education (NAPSE) \nNational Association of Alternative Schools and Colleges (NAASC) \nNational Association of Open Campus Colleges (NAOCC) \nNational Association for Private Nontraditional Schools and Colleges (NAPN

that is really an open question.  are you trying to find online classes that are from an accredited college?  or, are you trying to find online classes that teach different trades?

It is not listed as an accredited school.  If it is not accredited, it's a waste of time because your certificate or degree will be worthless.  Check out the federal government's search engine for accredited schools. http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.asp  Search FL for state and Orlando for city.  It's not listed.

I agree with the above - U. of Phoenix but its really important that whatever one you do attend, to check its accreditation.  Go to the website of a normal respectable university find out what accreditation it holds and then call the online university and see if they hold the same one.  Your degree will be more or less useless if you dont have one that is accredited by a respectable university.

You should be able to find that information in the student handbook of your particular college. \n\nAt mine, you had to get a GPA below 2.0.

My friend took some online classes from UOP, and said that they were quite hard. I'm not sure if they're accredited or not.

Go here:  http://www.tesc.edu/aboutus/accreditation.php\n\nYou can verify that with the accrediting boards if you wish.  The phone numbers and web address of the accrediting body are right there.\n\nHowever, with state schools such as this, you can trust their claims pretty safely.
