I'm an Army guy, but I would double check to make sure the two exams aren't considered the same credit. I received credit for both (6 SH) through Excelsior. But take them both, they are free for you anyway. Big Grin

TESC don't consider them to be duplicate credit. I can't speak for CCAF though.

Go to:
1. AF Portal
2. Click on AFVEC-AF Virtual Ed Center link on left side
3. Click on My CCAF Progress Report link on the right side

Well I passed both the CLEP & DSST and a coworker said his is fulfilled with it. I can't check mine yet (.mil access only) but last time neither of them were showing yet.

My CCAF LMMS requirements were met by CLEP Principles of Management and DSST Principles of Supervision.

Alternatively, ALS counts as well.
19 DSST attempted - 54 credits awarded (1 unsuccessful)
11 CLEP attempted - 24 credits awarded (5 unsuccessful)
1 ECE attempted - 3 credits

It depends on the school. EC allowed both for me.
