Board grants full accreditation to Tri County Technology Center's distance practical nursing program

Agency accreditation staff recommended full accreditation for Tri County Technology Center's practical nursing distance-education program after an on-site approval visit. Andrew Beyer, accreditation coordinator, outlined the DE (distance education) approval process and the standards the agency uses to assess program integrity, technology, instruction, student support, skill assessment and program effectiveness. Beyer said examiners interviewed administrators and staff, observed demonstrations of the DE platform, and will follow up with a midyear review to verify attendance tracking and program quality.
