A CREDIT review is conducted by highly specialized faculty evaluators who review an organization's workplace learning programs according to established criteria. Training programs that meet the appropriate standards receive college credit recommendations, which colleges and universities use to award credit. Evaluations can also identify workplace-relevant competencies and document them through digital badges.
To get started with CREDIT, follow these steps:
1. Determine Eligibility to Participate
CREDIT’s
Criteria of Eligibility (2.8 MB PDF) are used to determine whether an organization’s educational program is compatible with CREDIT standards. Organizations are required to demonstrate that they continue to meet the eligibility criteria in order to maintain participation in the program every three years.
2. Consult with CREDIT Corporate Alliance Representative
Fill out a quick
contact form, and CREDIT‘s Partner Engagement team will schedule a consultation with you to discuss your organization’s eligibility. During the consultation, Partner Engagement will confirm eligibility and obtain any additional information required to move forward with the application process.
3. Eligibility Visit
Prior to scheduling an evaluation, each organization must participate in an eligibility meeting to verify that training materials are prepared for a CREDIT review. This is usually conducted at the organization’s headquarters and is led by ACE staff.
From the time when an application is submitted, it takes approximately 90 days to complete a CREDIT evaluation.
