Thinking about changing careers or leveling up your skills?
In today’s fast-moving job market, staying competitive means continuously growing your skill set. Standing still could mean missing out on valuable opportunities. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) helps you get credit for what you already know—turning your past experiences into college credit. By using CPL, you can complete your degree more quickly, boost your marketability, and position yourself for promotions and higher pay.
