According to info made available to me by person at school, answers to above are yes. Credentials that employers accept varies, person at school (touting *our* programs) told me that *we* have nationally accredited programs in such fields as data processing equipment repair and medical records technician while a *school* advertising on match book covers probably doesn't.
