Saylor grading and transcript timeframe

[Ideas]

How long does it take them to provide a grade and Credly badge?

Grade happens virtually instantly. The badge is inside 48 hours for the courses I have done in the last month.

I think by moving to the new proctoring system, everything may have transitioned to an automated system as well for grading. It's a good change if the badges are issues in 48 hours or less. Wow, for $5, and if you know the subject matter well enough, it is inexpensive credits.

BTW, I noticed the both of you did Customer Service exam at Saylor... Was that used part of your degree? Or is it just for the credits/knowledge? I don't remember when they added it, seems like a "newer" course.

I didn't need it for anything, but I confirmed elsewhere that it transfers into TESU as APS-299.

Its transfers into UMPI as a general elective. I did two LL politics courses at Saylor because I'm doing a PoliSci minor. I didn't need customer service as such, I purely did to see how I would go going straight to the exam based on having retail jobs over the years. 

I'm not as critical of Saylor as the board is, although alot of the frustration does seem to come from the business courses which I haven't done. I am tempted to try one and see...
