Surrey College, a private college run in affiliation with the Surrey School District, was notified this week that it continues to meet quality standards in seven major areas: statement of purpose or mission statement; administrative capacity; facilities and institutional resources; instructors; academic policies and student services; program delivery; and distance education. The assessment was done in accordance with the Private Career Training Institution (PCTI) Act.

An external audit by a PCTI-appointed accreditation team was completed at the College in March. An audit once in each five year period is a requirement for organizations that wish to maintain their accreditation status, together with a number of other regular requirements of PCTI.

Accreditation is a process undertaken by institutions wishing to seek recognition of their educational standards of quality.
