Private Career Training Institutions Agency

The Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) is the provincial regulatory body of British Columbia, Canada responsible for accrediting private post-secondary institutions and ensuring minimum standards of quality and consumer protection. Accreditation by the PCTIA qualifies an institution to participate in provincial and federal financial assistance programs, but does not certify that an institution's courses are transferable to other institutions.
