STATE REGULATORY INFORMATION

Private, postsecondary vocational schools offering instruction or services for attainment of vocational objectives and an educational credential below the associate degree level, must be licensed by the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board under provisions of the Private Vocational School Act (RCW 28C.10).

Certain educational activities are exempt from this law. Trade, business, and fraternal organizations providing in-house training, degree-granting programs in compliance with the rules of the Higher Education Coordinating Board, barber and cosmetology schools licensed under RCW 18.16, and entities offering programs exclusively devoted to religious objectives are but a few examples. A full list of exemptions is contained in the law.

The Private Vocational School Act was established to protect against practices by private vocational schools which are false, deceptive, misleading, or unfair, and to help ensure adequate educational quality. The law also applies to out-of-state schools that actively target Washington State residents in their recruitment.

This law offers students an opportunity to know the nature and extent of services offered by licensed institutions as well as certain forms of redress in cases of a grievance against such institutions. There are certain remedies for the student including a Tuition Recovery Trust Fund, complain procedures, and the requirement that the conditions of enrollment be clearly identified in publications and contracts provided to potential students. A fair and equitable cancellation and refund policy is also required. Civil fines and penalties are stipulated in the law for violations of the law.
