I've seen commercials of the school for years. Train at home. But does anyone know if this is legit and not a scam? Or how I would find out?

Institutional Accreditation by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).





Regardless of delivery method (on ground, online, hybrid), a higher ed institution in the US can have 3 institutional accreditation statuses.





1. Regionally accredited - the highest and most useful.


2. Nationally accredited - real, but not as recognized or useful. Yes it is less than regional accreditation, which isn't intuitive.


3. Unaccredited

PCDI falls into the Nationally accredited category, a real but not as recognized accreditation. Most employers will accept it for vocational training (1 year certificate programs), but I would look to a Regionally accredited school beyond that.
