College Credit Recommended for ICCP Exams

Des Plaines, IL - ICCP announces the successful completion of an evaluation of their Certified Computing Professional (CCP) and Associate Computing Professional (ACP) exams by the American Council on Education. Through the ACE Credit by Examination Program, a team of content experts, selected from college faculty, reviewed the ICCP's examinations that are now included in the newly released 4th edition of the Guide to Educational Credit by Examination.

Since 1945, when ACE's Military Evaluations Program began, it has been the policy of ACE that learning acquired outside the classroom can be measured for college credit. Over the years, ACE has developed other programs, including the Credit by Examination Program, that continue to support this long-standing
policy of recognizing non-collegiate learning.

According to Credit By Education Director, Joan Schwartz, "The increase in recognition of learning through successful completion of examinations, comes as no surprise. To earn college credit for this demonstrated knowledge is an added benefit that will save individuals time and money when they decide to complete
their educational degree goals."
