Historically, Straighterline will beta-test new courses with previous customers invited. Once this process is complete, they apply for ACE-evaluation.
Personally, I wouldn't necessarily take an SL course (unless it was for free!) without ACE-approval. However, given Straigherline's excellent history, if they state that ACE has approved the course, I would certainly believe them.
edit: Just read this over and 'customers' really makes education sound like a business. In that case, SL wins on both fronts. On the other hand, makes a bachelors seem even more required and also that education can be somehow purchased :/
