All of the CDSE Education courses have been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) for credit recommendations. The ACE's College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) connects CDSE workplace learning with colleges and universities by helping employees gain access to academic credit for formal courses and examinations taken outside traditional degree programs. ACE credit recommendations allow students to transfer credit earned from approved courses toward completion of degree programs. CDSE course credit recommendations are listed in the ACE National Guide.
