Thoughts, Rambles, and request for suggetions

I am going o ramble a bit, give some information and ask for suggestions.

I am in Iraq at present where there is no Military Education Center, so unless anybody know of any way to get tests via online testing, I am basically SOL on CLEP, DANTES, and ECE exams.

Here is my current status:

AARTS Transcripts 23 Credits
Previous College 6 Credits
MCSE 10 Credits (I think From Excelsior)
Distance Learning
From Adams State College 6 Credits (In Process) 12 Week
OL Course from TESC
Starts Aug 1 3 Credits
ACE Trancscipts from
Smartforce CBT 12 Credits
Total Credits (un-official) ---------
60 Credits

If anybody know how many credits Excelsior gives for an MCSE Certification Please let me know, I think I remeber using thier credit calculator at one point and itgave me 10. But that was a few months ago.

Problem, I need 90 hours by December. OCS Classes begin at Ft. Rucker, hence not in Iraq. I cannot reasonably count the credits from Adams State and TESC yet as they are 12 week and 16 week courses respectfully. Once I make it state side the testing options will become avaliable to me.

In the absence of CLEP, DANTES, and ECE testing, what are the best options for me to obtain at least 30 hours in 5 months?

I apologize for the rambles, but any viable options would be appreciated.

I see that you got the ACE approved credits through the Smartforce program.

Go to this link:

http://www.skillsoft.com/partners/academic.asp

Amercian Military University
Strayer University
U. of Phoenix
Northcentral Technical College

The above are partners with Smartforce and will accept on the average 10 Smartforce "clock hours" for one credit. Check each college out. Find the one with the most bang for your buck. Write to the school that you select and explain your situation. A quick scan showed that you can accrue 30 credits through Strayer and Northcentral Techincial College.

Go on the AKO discussion boards. I recall reading a post that a soldier was able to submit his Smartforce records directly to ACE. For 45 dollars, he received an ACE approved document, in which he used at TESC.

I hope this helps.

 

Drexel also accepts Smartforce

10-12 sounds correct - depending on your MCSE electives.
