All of the CDSE Education courses have been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) for credit recommendations. The ACE  Learning Evaluation 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. Students earn a CDSE Digital Badge upon course completion, which can be shared on social media pages like LinkedIn or Facebook. The course digital badge confers the ACE Learning Evaluation credit recommendation for the course. The digital badges are displayed in each of the course description pages.
