American Council on Education

The American Council on Education's College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT) has evaluated and recommended college credits for ICCP examinations. The American Council on Education, the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher education institutions, seeks to provide leadership and a unifying voice on a key higher education issues and to influence public policy through advocacy, research and program initiatives.

Universities and Colleges

The ICCP offers new programs for colleges and universities.

a. Outcome assessment of programs (this is especially valuable for those colleges using the IS2002 Model Curriculum from ACM, AIS & AITP). How well do your students learning outcomes match with the planned teaching delivery? Get a detailed analysis from the ICCP and Center for Computing Education Research.

b. Knowledge gap analysis for students and for the college: You can identify if gaps exist either in student learning or in college program format and teaching. This is a valuable tool for re-accreditation and for program improvement.

c. National Competency Comparision: How do your college students measure up against the best students in the courntry? This allows you to compare your students' performance against the performance of some 700 of the top students at the AITP National Collegiate Conference Competitions on the same ICCP examinations.

d. Special Discounts Programs: Colleges may pre-buy the ICCP examinations at a discount and retail them to their students for the same or different cost. Some colleges include the examinations within the initial registration fee. For example: Dakota University; Seminole Community College

Colleges who are testing students for the first time using the ICCP Examinations may offer these examinations to their students on a "Pay if you Pass" basis. To get more information on this program, please contact the ICCP Office.

The ICCP encourages colleges and universities to establish and develop a Certified Computing Professional review course to be offered to their clients. The ICCP will assist colleges and corporate training departments to put together such programs.

In many cases the ICCP will come out and co-host a regional workshop 3-5 days in duration preparing future instructors of review courses so they can take the examinations to become certified.

The ICCP promotes the requirement that a CCP Review course instructor or Professional Development Review course leader be a current Certified Computing Professional.

Contact the office at ICCP if you are interested in establishing such a program at your college. Phone: 1-800-843-8227.
