State Approval and Regulation

All programs and courses offered by Nutrition Therapy Institute are approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Private Occupational School Board.

The State of Colorado requires that institutions meet specific standards in order to maintain approval.

According to its Legislative Declaration, the purpose of the Private Occupation School Board is to provide standards for and to foster and improve private occupational schools and their educational services and to protect the citizens of Colorado against fraudulent or substandard private occupational schools by

1. Prohibiting the use of false or misleading literature, advertising, or representations
2. Establishing accountability for private occupational schools and their agents through the setting of standards relative to the quality of educational services, fiscal responsibility and ethical business practices
3. Providing for the preservation of essential records
4. Providing for the authorization of appropriate educational credentials by approved schools

In effect, the Private Occupational School Board in its regulatory role assures the student that the institution has an approved program of study, operates on a sound financial basis, has qualified instructors, approved recruitment and admission policies, and promotes its courses truthfully. Its rules insure that an institution will provide the quality of education it claims to offer.
