One of the most common questions we receive at Clinical Skills Institute is about accreditation.
At Clinical Skills Institute, we are committed to providing high-quality training programs that prepare students for successful careers in the healthcare industry. While we continue to expand our accreditation efforts, our programs are designed to meet national certification standards, ensuring that graduates can earn recognized credentials and secure employment in their chosen fields.
In this post, we’ll break down our accreditation status, our partnerships with accredited certification agencies, and what that means for our students.
Understanding Institutional vs. Programmatic Accreditation
Accreditation can be categorized into two types:
• Institutional Accreditation – This applies to an entire school, verifying that it meets general standards of quality and integrity.
• Programmatic Accreditation – This focuses on specific programs or courses, ensuring they meet industry-specific educational and training standards.
