No, COPSE does not accredit institutions or programs. COPSE does approve new or significantly modified academic programs submitted by a college or university in accordance with the Council on Post-Secondary Education Act. Note that program approval does not imply accreditation. If a program requires accreditation, (excluding Apprenticeship) it is the responsibility of the institution offering the program to ensure that the program complies with the requirements of the accrediting body, be that a professional association or other entity. Through the Apprenticeship Branch and under the authority of The Apprenticeship and Trades Qualifications Act, Manitoba approves college trades training programs where the colleges’ programs meet or exceed the technical training requirements for apprenticeable trades in Manitoba, as set by the Apprenticeship and Trades Qualifications Board. No institution should claim that it is accredited by the Government of Manitoba or COPSE.
