ACE review teams embrace the philosophy that what an individual learns is more important than when, where, and how the individual learned it. An ACE evaluation is a rigorous, hands-on process conducted by a team of teaching faculty from relevant academic disciplines, representing the diversity of colleges and universities. Faculty evaluators review both military training and occupations as well as programs, courses, and exams for a variety of organizations through ACE's Learning Evaluations (formerly CREDIT®).
For each review, ACE creates specialized teams to assess and validate whether the courses, occupations, professional examinations, or other learning experiences have the appropriate content, scope, and rigor for college credit recommendations that may be eligible for academic transfer (actual credit transferred is solely at the discretion of the college or university). Credit recommendations for military courses and occupations appear in the
Military Guide and for Learning Evaluations in the
ACE National Guide.
