Just heard back from Frank Perna at APICS, and this was his reply to my email:
Looking at the PONSI site, it appears (as PEACE123 suggested) that they already have credit recommendations for APICS exams. However, it also appears that they are only recommending 2 credits each for 3 of the exams, so the total credits would be 12, which would not be enough to cover the entire Operations Management concentration as was the case for the ACE recommendations (although all 12 appear to be upper level). Still plan to talk to my Excelsior advisor about their take on the PONSI scheme. Will post something here about her response to that as well.
Quote:Maintaining ACE accreditation required a rigorous yearly renewal process with high fees. We decided to pursue other programs that yielded the same student result while reducing the costs and resources to support. We are currently investigating and have intention to pursue accreditation in 2010 with the National Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction, National PONSI and the New York State Board of Regents.
