Credential to Credit Program

Industry certifications reflect knowledge and skills in many job sectors including information technology, healthcare and trades. At CCWA, we work with our partner colleges to deliver credit for prior learning – assisting some course completers in making a transition to a college certificate or degree program.

If You Hold an Industry Certification

Take your workforce development training and experience to a new level by applying your credential toward a community college certificate or degree. CCWA students who earn an industry credential in the areas below can advance their education and career opportunities by enrolling in a college program where their credential will give them credit toward a certificate or degree. That means fewer college classes, less time and less money to complete your journey to becoming a college graduate.
