Other Options for College Credit

National & Local Evaluations of Training

Use the Equivalency Crosswalk to find participating campus equivalencies for industry credentials, licenses, and corporate or workplace training certifications that have been evaluated for credit.

Industry-recognized licenses and certifications.

College credit can be awarded for Industry developed and endorsed assessments that demonstrate a level of proficiency and competencies, typically in a technical field. Some examples of Industry Training Certifications are Google Certificates, OSHA Training, SHRM Senior Certified Professional, and ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) Exams.

American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE assesses non-collegiate instructional programs to provide credit recommendations. If you participated in a course through an organization that was evaluated by ACE, you can request a copy of your transcript from that organization. If those credit recommendations are equivalent to a course in your community college's program, you may be eligible for credit.

Students Occupationally and Academically Ready (SOAR)

SOAR prepares students for college and careers in high priority occupations. If you have participated in an approved SOAR program through your high school's Career and Technical Education Program, you may receive credit for skills learned toward a certificate or degree. Visit CollegeTransfer.Net to see how your credits may be accepted - or to learn more about the Program, click the SOAR logo on your local community college website.

National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) & NOCTI

Formerly known as PONSI, NCCRS collaborates with NOCTI to evaluate non-collegiate training and education programs for college credit equivalencies. Experienced industry experts and professors evaluate the rigor of the NOCTI assessments to translate the content into college credit equivalencies.
