The Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) is a specialized accrediting body that accredits master's degree, doctoral degree, and post-graduate degree clinical training programs in marriage and family therapy throughout the United States and Canada. An abundance of information regarding the accreditation process, fees, manuals and standards are offered as resources for programs desiring to become or maintain COAMFTE Accreditation. NCATE accredits schools, colleges, and departments of education in U.S. colleges and universities, as well as non-university entities that prepare educators for P-12 schools. The accreditation covers all educator preparation programs for the purpose of preparing and developing professional educators for work in P-12 school settings, including off-campus programs, distance learning programs, and alternate route programs. However, the accreditation does not include individual education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for professional development, re- licensure, or other purposes.
