U.C.C.A. offers career-focused trade and technical education designed for practical outcomes in the workforce. While our programs equip you with valuable skills, U.C.C.A. is not currently accredited by a U.S. accrediting body, so our qualifications may not be accepted for university credit transfer.

Recognition of prior learning is handled on a case-by-case basis by each institution. If you're planning to continue your studies at a university, we recommend speaking with their admissions team to understand their credit policies and whether your UCCA coursework could be reviewed.

Our focus is on helping you gain skills that translate directly into job opportunities, promotions, or career shifts — not necessarily on academic credit pathways.
