No, it doesn't have ACE recommendation for credit. Here's the Wiki page linked above: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera
If you really want to get into Front-End Developing, I would go for the UX Design for FREE using TADA
Then pay for the IBM Full Stack Software Developer, if you finish in a month, it's only $49...

Oh snap, yeah. That's what I wanted to say earlier, you can take the UX Design and what interests you on Coursera/TADA.
Then go for the Meta Front-End Developer AND the IBM Full Stack Software Developer, these are inexpensive add-on certs.

Wait, can you take all of those certs? The instructions on the American Dream Academy Coursera page when I logged in said CHOOSE ONE written exactly like that lol.

Yes, you can go from top to bottom or any way you want. I would do one at a time and go for the ones that have overlapping content if possible. I suggest getting the ones with ACE credit done first and the non-ace recommended for credit last...

I've done Google IT Support, Meta Social Media, and I'm two courses into UX Design. I'm actually really intrigued by UX Design now, and I think I'd like to explore that further once I'm done.
I've started skipping most of the videos because the speakers tend to use different language than what's in the written material.

The full stack does it transfer as UL for bacs? or it is only 3 credits worth.

Why I'm Doing These Certifications
I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and computer science, so doing these certifications allows me to review the material I already know, fill in any gaps of stuff I don't know, and serve as additional proof of my skills. I should be able to complete these certs in a few days or up to a week each. Keep in mind I will be skipping lots of vids, etc.
Why I Recommend These Certifications
From what I have seen so far, I highly recommend these certifications if you need cheap ACE credit, are interested in these topics, or want something to throw on your resume.
You get 3 tries every 24hrs for every assignment, so there is no risk of trying. Most of these certifications seem easy for someone with little experience to complete in around 2 weeks. Watching videos at 2x speed helps or skipping stuff you already know.
Google IT Support
Lots of good stuff in this course. There are a bunch of interactive lessons such as virtual windows and Linux OS.
Some of the stuff is pretty basic, and some require some knowledge.
Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce
All of the challenges are quizzes. I have a bunch of previous knowledge.
Google Project Management
This course is a mix of quizzes and writing projects. The capstone looks like a bit of a bear as it's all writing assignments. However, I should feel right at home as long as it's business related.
Google Data Analytics or Google UX Design
I can't decide yet which ones I want to do. I was going to wait till I completed the other 3 certs I started. Both look like good courses and courses which I would have the most to learn.
