Professional Certification
Ogeechee Technical College considers credit awarded for non-collegiate educational programs as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). ACE’s National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training and National Guide to Credit Recommendations for Non-Collegiate Courses contain recommendations for experiential learning and professional examinations or certifications offered by other organizations separate of postsecondary educational institutions, including agencies offering professional certifications and the military. Documentation is required. The faculty member of the program in which the student is enrolled evaluates the documentation to determine if the experience meets or exceeds the program/course standards and makes a recommendation to the Registrar only if sufficient documentation is provided. Final determination is made by the Registrar. The process ensures all course work and outcomes are at the appropriate collegiate level.
