Best option for a fast Associate's in I.T. or something related? Total noob!

Ok. This thread has actually turned out really cool as far as threads go. Like, a lot of great ideas and info.

I feel like the only blatant thing missing (unless I missed it) is the link to look up ACE credits. So, here it is. ?
https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...fault.aspx

The reason I wanted to add it is because I’ve noticed IT type people who find this forum seem to be pretty creative when it comes to continually stacking up certificates and degrees, and it may not hurt to keep the ACE credit search in your pocket, because some of those may give credits, like the course that our company sent out IT guy to.

I don’t think an AA through a CC is the best idea compared to an alt credit friendly school, but check out page 202 in your old CC’s handbook. If you ever hit a point that you wanted it, you’ve got one of the 4 classes done for a Certificate of Performance in Information and Communication Technology.

WGU will also take some certs whether or not they are ACE-recommended for credit - and they don't necessarily give the same number of credits for them as ACE recommends.  You're much better off figuring out which certs will work for different courses: https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/transfer-guidelines.html
