Yup, it's real and I did the whole thing. It's a professional development program, not worth any academic credit, but I did use the CEUs that ACE rates it for to get 120 contact hours towards my continuing education requirement for the American College of Medical Practice Executives. I liked it and was exposed to alot of business concepts that I didn't get in my undergrad. Went on my resume under Professional Development and Training, not Education. It's not a bad thing, it's just not a degree thing.
Quick question... Were you able to transfer any credit from the program to the MBA degree program? The recruiter assured me that one may be able to do that if one choses.
No, I recieved no accademic credit for the certificates. I think they were working on providing a test at the end of the program that would give you ACE evaluated credits, but it wasn't happening when I did the program last year. Also, the company that provides the certificates also markets for several other schools with grad programs, and those programs may accept the certificate for credit. But I got no accademic credit for the program.
