The certification of faculty ensures quality education. Following Wisconsin Statute 38.04(4)(a), the Wisconsin Technical College System District Board establishes and maintains an instructor competency program through Administrative Code TCS 3.01, clearly defining the certification process. As such, the Administration adheres fully to TCS 3.01 by establishing and maintaining the necessary internal processes and structure for certification.  Further, the Administration utilizes the same certification processes and structure to meet the accreditation criteria set by the Higher Learning Commission (Policy I.A.1a Accreditation).


Faculty are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the appropriate certification. Failure to fulfill this responsibility shall be cause for termination from the position.
