Accreditation

FACBI having been thoroughly examined, has been found to meet or exceed the professional standards of academic excellence, is committed to continuous improvement and growth and is hereby awarded this status of commendable achievement. Is accreditation voluntary? Yes..... You will see it said about accreditation that this is a voluntary system. It is literally true that education programs (in several professions) need not be accredited. And, once accredited, your program can opt out by voluntarily withdrawing. ...... and No. In the practical world, where programs compete for students, for status in their institutions, for financial resources, for quality faculty and for other valuable benefits, it has become difficult for programs to forego accreditation. In several professions, graduation from an accredited program is a requirement for a new practitioner to gain employment or to take state-required or profession-required exams - which makes it necessary (even if 'voluntary) for programs to be accredited. Educational Fair Practice Statement: Although an institution is accredited by a governmental, non-governmental agency, U.S. Department of Education or a Secretary of Education. Accreditation or degree earned from any institution does not guarantee transfer of credits, employment, certifications, or career advancement.

Function and Procedures of Education

The ability to think is the gift of the Creator, and the desire to know is divinely implanted. Proverbs 9:10 (https://www.dailywordofgodgroup.com/bible/mobile.php?q=Proverbs+9:10) says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." So, a proper recognition and respect for God is the first step of education. A wise man will increase in wisdom and can render a reason for all he does. Education is a progression from Knowledge to Understanding to Wisdom. Learning is essential for deciding what things are least and most important and for making intelligent choices in your everyday life

Transfer and Evaluation of Credits

Many colleges and universities use a credit-hour system in a semester period. Courses are assigned several semester hour credits to be considered complete. In a traditional Bible college, a semester hour is around 30 to 48 clock hours of classroom attendance.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute is willing to accept the credits you have earned from other legitimate Christian schools whether they are accredited or not, if they teach the Holy Bible.

Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute credits have been acceptable at many schools; However, the transfer of credits depends on the agreement between the schools. Fresh Anointing Christian Bible Institute cannot be responsible for the decisions and policies of other schools.

If you plan to apply for a state license or a faculty position at an institution, please inquire of those institutions their acceptance policies between schools.
