Using this website
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. The website is provided to give information about HCDE, its standards and its services.
What HCDE is, and is not
HCDE is a private, independent, non-governmental body. Its accreditation rests on its own published standards and does not constitute governmental recognition. Nothing on this website should be read as a statement that a program or qualification is recognised, licensed or approved by any government or other body.
The registry
The registry shows the accreditation status of an institution, training center or program on the date you view it. Status can change. Where a certificate and the registry differ, the registry entry viewed through the verification page prevails. If you doubt a record, write to the verification address on the Contact page.
