TESC only accepts Saylor Courses directly for credit that are ACE or NCCRS recommended. Some Saylor courses are aligned with various tests such as TECEP, DSST, CLEP etc. and credit can be earned by taking the exam. For the courses that are not ACE or NCCRS recommended, you would have to do a PLA portfolio assessment. I have never done one so I'm not sure what the process is. When I was looking at doing PLA through TESC I was told that if you complete a training course and have a certificate then PLA process is easier, though TESC advisors have been known to give incorrect information. You would have to check with TESC to see what the process is for using Saylor courses with PLA. TESC has the open option ASBA that is based on Saylor courses. I have heard that the PLA process usually involves quite a bit of writing. Learningcounts.org also offers PLA credits. It is NCCRS recommended so TESC may accept the credits.
