Begin With What You Have Already Earned. We Will Help You Add Up All Previously Earned Credits

It may have been a long time since you were in college.  You may have even forgotten how many credits you earned.  We can help with that.  As long as you received at least a grade of "C" no matter the subject or how long ago, we can show you how to take maximum advantage of the college credits you worked so hard to acquire.


Did you take military, industry, other ministry or business training?  If so, you will be able to take full advantage of the learning that you worked so hard to complete.  It all adds up, and that will help a lot.


We know how to help you build on what you have already learned!
