Answer 1

Colleges and tech schools are accredited by various groups, meaning they meet certain education standards and requirements. Even high schools are accredited by the state or a Christian organization. Do a search by your school's name and accredidation. It should come up.

Answer 2

All colleges are accredited by an accrediting agency in order to be eligible for federal funding and financial aid. Depending on the school, it may be have the accreditation of several agencies.

You can do one of two things:  go to the school's website. Look there for the accreditation. Or call the school in the morning and ask.

This site may be helpful, but you'll probably find out more by visiting the school's website or calling them yourself.
