As a potential VN or PT student, what should I look for in a program to be sure that I receive a quality education?
An individual who is considering enrollment in a VN or PT program should learn as much about the program as possible before making any commitments to the program. Make sure that the program is accredited by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians. You can do this by checking the Board’s website (Education > California Accredited Schools) or by calling the Board at (916) 263-7843. Please note that the term “accreditation” is not used for a new program that has been approved by the Board to admit its first class. The program status at this point is called “approved”. Prior to graduation of the first class, a Board representative will visit the program to ensure that it is still in compliance with applicable regulations. If compliance is evident, the representative will submit a report to the Board. In turn, the Board will accredit the program. The accreditation will be retroactive to the start date of the first class. Check the program’s licensure examination pass rat
