National Aviation Academy Celebrates 25 Years of Accreditation
CLEARWATER, FLA. (PRWEB) November 29, 2016 -- The Council on Occupational Education (COE) recognized National Aviation Academy (NAA) for completing twenty-five years of accredited status at the Council’s Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, November 2-4, 2016.
COE, originally the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions (COEI), formed in 1971, was a regional accrediting agency and was part of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). NAA first became accredited with this is agency in 1991. In 1995, COEI changed to COE when the agency left SACS to become an independent national accrediting agency.

At NAA we strive to be exemplary stewards of the COE mission by ensuring quality and integrity with all that we do.”, stated Mac Elliott, NAA CEO.
The Commission’s evaluation process includes an extensive self-study by the institution and an intensive review by a visiting team of professional educators representing the Commission’s member institutions from other states.
