Regarding taking a PLA preparatory course at an institution besides TESU
I emailed TESU over the weekend seeking clarification regarding their PLA-200. I first asked about PLA prep courses taken elsewhere being used as the pre-req for portfolio evaluation at TESU. This is what I was told:
When I responded to ask about portfolios completed elsewhere (such as Learning Counts) and whether or not these portfolio credits made a student eligible for portfolio evaluation at TESU, this is what I was told:
If it was me, and I was considering taking the Kaplan PLA prep course (or PLA prep elsewhere) in order to satisfy the pre-req for portfolio evaluation at TESU, I would seek confirmation from TESU first.

Quote:We accept the [PLA prep course equivalent] credit in transfer. We require that OUR PLA-200 be taken in order to submit portfolios to us.
When I responded to ask about portfolios completed elsewhere (such as Learning Counts) and whether or not these portfolio credits made a student eligible for portfolio evaluation at TESU, this is what I was told:
Quote:Basically the same question, same answer. Learning Counts teaches THEIR approach. PLA-200 teaches our approach.

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
