Questions worth asking

Does the actual course prevent early credit issuance where a minimum study time is required? Are exams and learner identity controls enforced where the Board requires them? Do approvals cover course content or ongoing technical behavior?

Available policy paths

Enhanced internal audits, stronger reporting, clearer provider technical obligations and independent outside review can all contribute. TRACE favors a mandatory independent third-party functional review of each course in its formal rulemaking proposal.

Provider-level accreditation is another policy option. An independent accreditor such as IACET evaluates an education provider’s systems and processes, including evidence from example courses. That may strengthen provider accountability, but organizational accreditation alone does not establish that each individual online course enforces every applicable Board requirement. Boards could combine provider accreditation with selective course audits or individual-course verification. Compare the benefits and limitations of provider accreditation →
