Thanks for the information on ACTFL. I did not realize how that works. I am not aware of alternate language test, but check this post for any possibilities:

The NFA course I took was called Fire Service Supervision Q318. I thought the information was very practical for anybody to use. I put some feedback at the end of this post:

There are two other NFA courses. One is hydraulics Q137. I have been told that it is 2 hours of math problems. The other is community education Q118. ACE says it takes a few hours longer to complete than the one I took, but I have not been able to verify that.
As far as I know, those are the only 3 NFA courses we can use for college credit at EC right now. That would be 1 credit each, so 3 credits total. They are free except for the ACE transcript. The first ACE transcript is $40; any additional transcripts will be $15. Since you will probably do ALEKS, you will need at least one ACE transcript anyway.
ALEKS is $20 per month. People try to complete as many courses as they can in that time.
A&I Lit is just a reading comprehension exam. There are no essays to write (at least EC does not require it). Check my post above for more information.
That is all I can think of for now. Let us know if you have any more questions.
