Has anyone tried to transfer XAMK ECTS to Excelsior?

Not yet, as far as I'm aware. I'm hoping that someone gives it a shot, though! Check out this thread for info about ECE: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Finnish-Universities-XAMK-etc-incl-CS-IT-courses

Once my kiddo is finished with the Game Development modules from the Game Design program, (which are hella harder than the first half of the program but way more informative and hands on), we will get them evaluated and transferred in if we can. He wants the certificate and all 25 ECTS! He is super excited seeing his creations come to life in Blender and soon in Unity. He made a fully articulating robot.
We are working towards the NYS 24 credit HS diploma to circumvent the age requirement at ECE, then we will get the evaluation from them. Figure we have nothing to lose except $10 application fee to NYS, cuz he can certainly use the courses somewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love that your son is so excited and enthusiastic about getting the certificate! It's great when kids find something that they actually WANT to learn.

I got my ACEI evaluation today for XAMK courses. I hope everyone who has taken the XAMK Game Creation courses gets a much better result than I did on earning credits. Perhaps ROYISAGIRL's results are/were an anomaly (3 credits per module), but I was only awarded 1 credit each for 8 of my modules, and 2 credits each for 2 of them. I only completed 10 modules. I can't imagine that TESU will award more than ACEI recommends. Thankfully I am well over the amount of extra credits needed at this point so this doesn't destroy my degree plan, but for anyone absolutely depending on them (especially for RA credit) you might want to rethink your plan. I still think that by doing all the modules, that is a decent amount of credits (but nothing like earning 3 credits each, of course). I think this will rule out the ASNSM Computer Science degree for me, though. I am still very hopeful about the other XAMK courses I took, we'll see what TESU thinks about those. And, I'm still really glad for ROYISAGIRL to have gotten those credits and the ASNSM!

Bummer! But still like you said, they are free RA credits. So they gave you 1:1 match for ECTS credits sounds like. So we have 11 credits.
There are only 9 modules in the Games Industry & Concept Design portion. I'm curious what is the 10th course you took? My boy is still slogging the Intro To Dev Tools. The modules in Video Game Dev portion are WAY longer and harder.

This is really old, but what did you send to ACEI?
The "Transcript of records - accepted/failed studies" that you downloaded from Peppi? The one that looks like this?

And did you also need to pay the 30 pounds to Qualification Check as a previous step? (Since we can´t get a direct transcript delivery from XAMK to ACEI)

Thanks for your help.

Since my Peruvian universities don´t send transcripts to third parties and are only issuing pdf with verification systems since 2020, I asked ECE about it, and they answered:
"If the documents, you have contain a QR code or a link for verification, these cans submitted.
Please note this is not a guarantee, the documents must be reviewed by an evaluator to determine the documents can be verified. "
Since the price is for evaluation, and not for document, I ´ll try sending them the XAMK one with others, and see if they review it.
Otherwise, I´ll just use ACEI as you all did.

Did you end up using ECE or just went with ACEI?
RE: XAMK - MrPanda - 05-19-2023
I haven´t send them yet.
I just got a Nebrija certificate with a QR that I want to send to them, and I´m still waiting for another Nebrija one.
