How to Create an Accredited Technical Course

Education opportunities abound, both online and in the real world. Unfortunately, educational scams are also prevalent. One way to prevent being scammed as a student is to look for accredited courses. Accreditation means that the school or course in question has been approved by at least one government agency that oversees education. For someone wanting to teach a technical course, getting it accredited lets students know they can trust the course, teacher and institution to provide a quality education.
