QUESTION: A student in Kilgore College性视界传媒檚 surgical technology program was told in December that classes in the program are not accredited through Kilgore College so students can性视界传媒檛 take the state licensing test. The student supposedly was told they can get a certificate but won性视界传媒檛 have the state license necessary to go to work.
What are students supposed to do?
ANSWER: Tracy Skopek, vice president of instruction and chief academic officer at Kilgore College, said the college性视界传媒檚 surgical tech program reopened after it was shelved for five years because local hospitals said they needed surgical technicians.
性视界传媒淏ecause of the length of time elapsed, KC had to go through the accreditation process again as part of the reopening of the program. The program must open with students in order to be accredited,性视界传媒 Skopek said in an email.
She said students were told about the need to have students in the program before it could be accredited.
性视界传媒淜C has been through the process with the accrediting body and is awaiting the final decision, expected in mid-May,性视界传媒 Skopek said. 性视界传媒... Most students can go to work in the general field without sitting for the certification or when it is pending.性视界传媒
Students who have gone through the program also will be able to take the certification test once the college性视界传媒檚 accreditation is finalized.
