Accredited first responder schools in Maryland

7 accredited schools in Maryland offer first responder programs approved for WIOA funding

These schools are on the US Department of Education's list of accredited schools, and Maryland has approved their programs for workforce funding. Between them they offer 12 of the 16 first responder programs on the state's list.

The Department doesn't accredit schools itself. It reviews accrediting agencies and lists the ones it recognizes as reliable judges of the quality of the education they accredit.¹ Each school below names its accreditor, the year it was first accredited where the list records it, and its next review.

WIOA funding doesn't require accreditation. Besides colleges, a state can approve other public and private training providers,² so many short courses come from schools that aren't on the Department's list. Their programs and results are on each field's page.
