SANS FOR500 Test and college credit - vetvso - 10-30-2022
Here is the test I'm trying to find college credits for. This is an expensive test paid for by law enforcement and government agencies. I was not able to find it within the ACE directory and that seems odd.

Why is it odd that you can't find it? There are a lot of tests out there that aren't ACE-evaluated. I don't see anything on that page that says it's worth credits. Not outside of the SANS Technology Institute.

It counts as 1 graduate course at either Purdue Global or SANS Technology Institute. I don't think SANS want the ACE status since they make a lot of money on their certs and degrees, and they are already regionally accredited themself... But you could always ask at UMPI for example, they may take it.

Purdue Global seems to be the best location for credit unless I find something elsewhere.
