These CFT courses carry the same ACE college credit transfer recommendation, whether taken via classroom, on-line, or guided self-study.
ACE CREDIT connects workplace learning with colleges and universities by helping adults gain access to academic credit at colleges and universities for formal courses and examinations taken in the workplace or other settings outside traditional higher education.
CFT educational programs deliver real value and industry-specific training to employees in the financial services community. CFT curriculum often ties directly to the financial institution’s corporate training. The American Council on Education’s (ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service provides the added value of credit toward a college degree. Students who successfully complete ACE-evaluated CFT courses are able to have college credit recommendations from the ACE Transcript Service, a central national database, submitted to various institutions of higher learning for consideration.
In addition to the ACE CREDIT transfer recommendations, CFT also has transfer credit agreements with several local colleges and universities. These agreements detail exactly which CFT course credits will be accepted, and to which college courses they will be applied. Students will find business and banking related degree programs at these colleges that will complement their CFT course work. Click Here for more information about CFT college affiliation programs.
When you are ready to transfer your CFT credits to a college or university, you will need to complete a Recordkeeping Services Request Form and submit it to CFT.
