All community colleges in California are accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. Los Angeles Trade-Technical College recently went through its site visit, and submitted a thorough self-study of the institution and its effectiveness. The accreditation team secured Trade Tech’s accreditation but placed the college on probation status.
