Allied is a Nationally Accredited Pharmacy Technician School

Accreditation

Distance Education Leader Since 1992

The success of your pharmacy technician career may hinge on the right training. In today's uncertain economic environment, you can't afford to choose an untested, unaccredited school. That's why you can feel confident about enrolling at Allied, which is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

Many distance education schools come and go, but Allied Schools has been providing quality distance education since 1992. Over the years we've enrolled over 825,000 students, which is a record that very few of our competitors can match.

What Accreditation Means for You

The following FAQs are from the DETC's website. For a complete list of DETC FAQs

Is DETC a recognized accrediting body?

The DETC’s Accrediting Commission is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Recognition by ED since 1959 and CHEA and its predecessors since 1973 means that these organizations have determined that DETC meets their respective standards and is regarded as a credible evaluator of institutional and program quality.

What type of accreditation is provided through DETC?

DETC accredits entire institutions and the programs they offer. Since DETC only accredits institutions that offer more than half of their programs through distance learning, the Accrediting Commission’s examining teams are experienced specialists and practitioners who ensure that an institution’s programs and services are designed and delivered appropriately for distance learning.
