Credit for Non-College Training and Certification

College credit can be awarded for valuable non-college training and certifications. Non-college training includes training that is provided by organizations other than a college or university, including industry-sponsored training and industry-recognized certifications. Credit for such educational experiences will be granted in accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE) when applicable to your program of study.

General Policies:

• Prior to credit being awarded, a program of study must be selected and all Florida Community College entrance requirements must be met.


• As a degree seeking student at Florida Community College, nine (9) credit hours must be completed.


• In general, a maximum of 1/2 of the degree program's technical core may be awarded toward a degree program.


• Students must request an official transcript from ACE to be sent to the Accelerated College Office.
