Accreditation is the analysis and study of the educational programs offered by a college. This means that a group of experts has gone through each program and information pertaining to the institution to validate that the college meets the standards of Accreditation. Brighton College Accredited programs are approved under the Distance Education Accrediting Commission. 

Non-Accredited Additional Training programs have been selected to not undergo evaluation from Accreditation experts. Brighton College’s focus with non-accredited programs is to offer employability related programs and courses. These courses do not qualify for College Credit. 

Brighton College has partnered with the National Healthcareer Association to provide the following National Recognized Certifications. NHA certification exams are NCCA accredited, ensuring the highest quality standards.

In working with other Career and Technical Education schools, the process listed below has been found to be successful. This process can be modified and tailored to fit the needs of your Educational Institution.

1. Student chooses the program with Brighton College they would like to complete and communicates this to their Parents/Teacher.
2. The Parents/Teacher will then place the purchase order for the class and communicate with the school’s point of contact.
3. Brighton reaches out to the student and parent to complete the “onboarding” process through an interview with Brighton staff.
4. Brighton will send the Enrollment Agreement and the Minor Student Consent Form (if under 18).
5. Brighton will email the family and cc the Parents/Teacher with the name of the course that the student will take.
6. Brighton College will email the student access to their E-books. If an e-book is unavailable, a hardcopy of the textbook will be provided.
7. The student will be contacted to set up a one-on-one phone orientation with their Success Coach. The student’s first course will not be released until the orientation is completed. Once the orientation is completed the student will receive their login/password from Brighton via email. This will ensure that the student has all the tools needed to be successful in their Brighton program!
