Divers Academy International is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges of Technology, located in Arlington, VA, which is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency.

There are benefits to selecting a national accredited professional diving school. Accreditation is the highest authoritative and reliable index of a school’s integrity toward its students and the quality of the education it provides to them. The school must prove longevity and financial stability to earn national recognized accreditation. In addition, only accredited institutions can provide students access to federal financial assistance programs, such as Pell Grants and Direct student loans to students that qualify.

Technical accreditations are those developed by specific trade associations to support the quality of technical skills within an industry. Divers Academy International is also accredited by the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE) to provide the ANSI commercial diver training program. Recognition of training is also provided by the trade Association of Diving Contractors International for schools operating to the consensus standard.

Divers Academy International is also accredited and affiliated with leading technical and diving organizations including:
