Licensing Readiness
Earning — and renewing — the right to operate. We prepare institutions for Florida CIE licensure and state authorization, assembling the policies, records, and evidence reviewers expect before they ask.
Advisory Services
Licensing, accreditation, and compliance consulting for career schools.
Cole Middleton Advisors helps career schools and postsecondary institutions earn — and keep — their license to operate. Eight disciplines, one institutional standard, built for evidence and review readiness.
Advisory Areas
Eight disciplines. One institutional standard.
Accreditation Preparation
Initial accreditation, reaffirmation, and substantive change across ACCSC, COE, ABHES, NACCAS, DEAC, and ACCET. Self-study development, standards alignment, and site-visit readiness.
Compliance Documentation
Policies and procedures structured to withstand review — written, organized, and cross-referenced so that practice, curriculum, and records align on demand.
Curriculum Systems
Program design, learning-outcomes mapping, and systematic program review built to satisfy accreditor and licensing expectations.
LMS Governance
Learning management systems configured to produce reviewable evidence — attendance, participation, and academic records that hold up under audit.
Audit Preparation
Mock reviews, evidence walk-throughs, and standing readiness so a site visit or program review is never a scramble.
Student Record Controls
Attendance, Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), placement, and student-file integrity — the records that determine compliance and Title IV eligibility.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Governed AI for compliance, documentation, and operations through Koji OS™ — accelerating evidence production without sacrificing review readiness.
