I couldn't find a specific thread on this so here goes.
Does anyone know if there's a limit on the amount of courses you can take through the American Dream Academy program? I just signed up and I'm having a hard time picking one certificate? I'm working on a budget.
Kind regards,

I did all of them, so it is possible.
It wasn't really worth it to me personally to do all of them though. I found the project management one the most useful, the others are kind of meh. The IT one I think gained me one class at TESU that does not "fit" anywhere other than the electives, and I think I learned more about IT from the Cybersecurity one. The data science one was below the level of a first college course on the topic though TESU gave multiple classes for it so it is a win credit-wise.
It depends on what you want to use them for as to whether they will all be worth it for you. Pierpont gives 12 credits for the IT one so it does have greater utility elsewhere. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't spent the time working on all of them when there are other options, like using the free trials to knock out the IBM certs, the WIT Cloud Computing one, the two SAS programming ones etc. I got distracted by the shiny free ADA options just because they were there and lost a month or so ^^'
