Erie, PA—At the June 2017 Meeting, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) selected Triangle Tech located in Erie, Pennsylvania as a 2016-2017 ACCSC School of Excellence Award recipient. Based on the School of Excellence status, the ACCSC considered its original decision to grant the school renewal for five (5) years and then voted to grant Triangle Tech, Erie an additional year of accreditation. Therefore, the school’s accreditation is now effective for a period of six (6) years going forward from January 2017.

The ACCSC School of Excellence Award recognizes accredited member schools that, during their most recent five year period of accreditation have demonstrated a commitment to the expectations and rigors of ACCSC accreditation, as well as a commitment to delivering quality educational programs to the students, graduates and employers that deserve our best work. Through this award, it is ACCSC's intent to recognize the importance of this significant achievement, including completing the accreditation process without stipulation and having been timely in the submission of the fees and reports required of an ACCSC accredited institution.
