Pierpont BOG AAS and IT certifications

[raekwon]

Your easiest option is to go for the Sophia.org Intro to IT and the free TEEX Cybersecurity courses, as these are open book/non proctored, you can have a second monitor to multi-task and look up the answers in the provided course materials/pdf files.  If you need the graded credits because you don't have anything yet, you can take the course mentioned above, if you do have community college credits already, skip this step.  Send in "ALL" certs for evaluation...

Yeah, the only credits I have are nationally accredited, so it looks like I'm out of luck there.

About the TEEX credits, they're still not showing as renewed with ACE. There's always the Google IT Support Professional Certificate. It can be completed within the first week free trial if you already have the knowledge and you focus on completing only the required tests / assignments, or you can take your time and pay the monthly fee.

For graded RA credits, wouldn't the ONU credits be graded, precluding the need for CCC or ASU? For quick non-graded RA credits, there are TECEPs. For the remaining ACE credits, Sophia is the way to go.

I mean, I don't need the Info Systems emphasis on my BOG degree by any means, but it'd be nice to have. I've only got one TEEX class to go until I'm done with Cyber 101, so I'll see if I can get that to show up on ACE/Credly. If not, I'll check out the Google cert. I didn't realize that there was a free trial available for it. It's probably (hopefully) something I can breeze through.

Thanks for pointing out that the ONU courses will be graded. Dunno what I was thinking there.

Also, I've noticed that folks here really love the Sophia exams. What's the advantage of paying for them over doing Modern States courses and getting free CLEP vouchers? (That's been my tentative plan for at least College Algebra, English Comp 1/2, and Information Systems.)
