Evaluation & Certification

The NCAC independently determines if a college meets the high standards and stringent requirements of traditional and distance learning practices. We evaluate the policies and procedures to ensure they meet our established criteria. There are literally hundreds of accrediting institutions in the United States and each have their own method of accrediting a school. The NCAC has developed a criteria that looks at a schools ability to grant degrees based upon sound principles and honest evaluation of skills. Earning a quality degree is the very purpose of accreditation and our guidelines ensure a school uses sound judgment in awarding such degrees.

We do not grant degrees or verify the credentials of alumni. Most colleges provide education verification directly or through their chosen registrar. We maintain an impartial opinion of a school and only provide accreditation based on the criteria we have established. We offer assistance to various institutions including:

• Post graduate schools
• International universities
• Corporate training facilities
• National & community colleges
• Trade & special training schools
• Online & distant learning schools
• Vendor-based certification schools
