Federal jobs and accreditation

[Life Long Learning]

I was looking at a Federal job and it said this on USAJOBS.gov.

National, Regional, and Specialized accreditation all seem to be OK. Just be on the official DOE list!:patriot:

PLEASE NOTE: Education must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to qualify for Federal employment.
Applicants can verify accreditation at the following websites:
https://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/

https://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/index.html

If you are using foreign education to meet qualification requirements, you must send a Certificate of Foreign Equivalency with your transcript in order to receive credit for that education.

Well that is really what the DOE list is. Legally recognized higher education institutions, regional accreditation is the "gold" standard not the legal standard

Just to echo you;

That is one of the very first things I did. I checked with my states' HR and then I think I asked a couple of fed HR people about the validity of a big 3 education. Had I gotten any pushback, I'd been done then and there.

As a QC measure, I have two-three job search alerts set up, and I always look at the college requirements. If I ever find one that doesn't look like it is ok with B3, I figured I'd post it here for discussion.
