Does the PCTIA fulfill all the functions provided by PPSEC?
PPSEC was responsible for regulating all private post-secondary institutions offering training or instruction to persons 17 years of age or older in British Columbia. The PCTIA plays a similar role in that it will be responsible for registration and accreditation of private institutions, and for providing consumer protection to students of those institutions. However, the PCTIA regulates only those institutions providing career-related training programs, and institutions that choose to voluntarily register with the PCTIA.
