To be clear - is everyone talking about ACE credit for this course, or credit for the associated certifications?
The MTA exam program is done. It is no longer possible to buy a voucher for that cert. You can't take the MTA exam and earn credit unless you've already acquired an exam ticket or voucher. Sales ended at the end of June. The CompTIA Network+ cert doesn't have a recent ACE review, but is accepted by some schools directly.
From the ACE database, these straighterline courses themselves do still have ACE endorsements for the next year. It's kind of a weird setup - one could presumably earn credit for both the prep course and the certifications themselves at the right school. However the credits would likely duplicate.
I don't really recommend studying for a "dead" certification. Material gets dated very fast in the tech space. Additionally, the MTA networking course is worth only two credits instead of the standard three.
Back when I took the MTA networking fundamentals exam almost a decade ago, I found it to be comically easy. Things may have changed since then.
