A CREDIT Review is conducted by highly specialized faculty evaluators, who review an organizations 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.
