$140 total for 20 credits of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a slam dunk

[Life Long Learning]

Thank you for finding this. Could you give us a little more information and the Homeland Sercurity Certificate? Did you have to take any classes through the history college and what classes did you take in the past that met the requirements for the certificate. Did you only have to take the one course you took?

I have completed the MP requirement and the Federal Basic Corrections PLA items. Along with other Criminal Justice classes but the names of courses they are using are different then what I recognize.

Thanks

KUJO,

I have tons of emergency management and homeland security and other industry pieces of training like professional certifications.  Initially, I did not go after any Certificate at HC.  I just wanted to try some PLA and Crosswalk based on my EM background to use at Highline College (HC) and maybe Excelsior College.  Online HC says an AAS in EM is coming (but still not there).  I paid the higher $35/credit not the $140/20 credits for PLA and Crosswalk.  6 months after I did the PLA at HC I woke up and saw that my oddball credits were almost the Certificate in HLS.  You are right that the $140/20 credits are NOT the same as in the HLS Certificate.

I started last year and I was only missing one course under that year catalog.  Today I would have been missing two classes short as the new catalog added a class.  I emailed the college that if I took the last class for a grade would I be eligible?  They said I needed to write a petition to the official college board so I did.  I did NOT expect the Board would say yes.  Even with a No, I was still excited about the Highline College opportunity to do PLA and Crosswalk.    One month later I got an email saying the Board said I could use all my credits.  

I still plan to check with HC every year to see if they added the Marine Security Certificate.  I would love that one also.  Not sure what classes they might require?  I had an overall great experience at HC.
