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)),”
