Oh, wow, I didn't see that one before. The only potential issue I see with the Technical Communications TECEP is that it certainly fulfills TESU's oral communications gen ed requirement, but I don't see it listed anywhere on CCAF's list of approved transfer classes. That doesn't mean it wouldn't approved, I just don't know for sure. At this time, CCAF only shows COM108 as a Speech equivalent when looking online.
That's not a dumb question. The Air Force has requirements now that limit you from picking up rank past a certain point if you don't have your CCAF degree, so they kind of strong-arm you into getting it. I'm not there yet, but I want to knock it out now so it looks good when I do my EPR and I put in for my promotion. I'm prior service Marine Corps, so after taking a few years off I am now playing catch up in the Air Force. Once the CCAF is done I'm going full throttle on the Straighterline/Study.com path and get the Bachelor's. I'm just trying to figure out if I can knock out the CCAF while I'm deployed without taking full-on classes. If I have to, I have to. I just want to know if there is another option.
Here's a quick update too. I called TESU just now and ask about how Straighterline and Study.com appear on the transcript and they basically said that they have no choice but to list SL and Study as the source of credit. That leads me to ASSUME that CCAF will not accept the TESU transcript due to them telling me they don't accept credit from SL. The guy I spoke with said that he doesn't have direct experience with CCAF and TECEPs, but he wouldn't understand why they wouldn't accept them since they are very similar to CLEP/DSST.
That didn't give me a warm and fuzzy about making the leap and doing the TECEPs for my CCAF completion. I don't mind sacrificing the small fee to take the exam, I just don't want to waste months of my time waiting for the eval process to come back saying they won't accept them. Unless someone chimes in here saying that they have direct experience with CCAF accepting the TECEP exams, I will just find some 8 week courses for those two classes and knock em out the old(ok, not really) fashioned way.
