What the document says
“such program is included on a State list prepared under section 122(d) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3152(d)),”
The section defines a recognized postsecondary credential program as one on a State list prepared under section 122(d) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, one listed in the public directory of the Web Enabled Approval Management System of the Veterans Benefits Administration or a successor directory, one recognized by an organization widely known for reputable credentials in the occupation as preparing people for its required examination, or one the Secretary identifies as reputable after consulting the Secretary of Labor.
What the document actually says
“such program is included on a State list prepared under section 122(d) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3152(d)),”
That sentence, in plain words
The program counts if it sits on a state list. That list is drawn up under a federal jobs law.
What this is about
Three other routes are open. One is a list kept for veterans. One is a well known trade exam body. The last is the Secretary naming it.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
