It is legal for an individual to run a Sequoia education and training institution with a certificate, as long as it has been filed with the Public Security Bureau.

Training institutions are educational and training institutions with the purpose of improving ability, cultivating skills, academic education and certification training. Training institutions have the requirements of venues and teachers, and they need to be certified by the education authorities and qualified by social forces to run schools before they can operate. The price of their training courses needs to be accounted and reported to the education department for approval.
