Accreditation will open the door to multiple funding opportunities, including Federal Financial Aid and Veteran Benefits. We have assisted many institutions through this process and would be pleased to support you as well.
Our accreditation consulting package is built around four proven milestones that take your institution from licensed to accredited in as little as 18 to 24 months, depending on the accreditation cycle and your school’s readiness.
Milestone 1 - Aligning with Accreditation Standards.
Milestone 2 - Implementing Annual Evaluations.
Milestone 3 - Issuing Your First Institutional Plan.
Milestone 4 - Preparing the Accreditation Documents.
This approach allows your institution to commit to one objective and one consulting fee at a time. You may cancel our services at any time without penalties. Each module focuses on one of the Licensed to Accredited Milestones, aligns with 2026 standards, and includes ten (10) live Zoom training sessions.

While there are many accrediting agencies to choose from, only the ones recognized by the US Department of Education as institutional accrediting agencies will establish the eligibility for your institution to participate in Title IV federal student aid programs.
Once institutional accreditation is achieved, schools may begin the Federal Financial Aid application process. Historically, Title IV funding has been limited to degree and clock-hour programs with a duration of 600+ hours. Regulatory revisions are expected to expand eligibility to shorter programs beginning July 1, 2026.
Institutional Accreditationapplies to the entire school and includes all licensed programs. Institutional accreditation enables institutions to apply for federal financial aid and other funding opportunities. Examples include: ACCSC, COE, ABHES, DEAC, NACCAS, TRACS, HLC, SACSCOC and MSCHE.
Programmatic Accreditationapplies to specific programs as required by a licensing board or professional practice. Programs that require programmatic accreditation include nursing, engineering, and law. Programmatic accreditation does NOT qualify an institution to apply for Title IV federal financial aid for its students. Examples include: ACEN, CAAHEP, JRCERT, and LCME.

In a Nutshell
A State License is required for a vocational or trade school, college, or university to operate. This license is issued by the state in which the institution is physically located.
Accreditation, Accreditation, on the other hand, is a voluntary certification process that licensed institutions pursue to (1) enable their students to access financial aid and other funding sources and (2) comply with specific board or professional requirements.
