Several of these online learning portals do offer tech classes and programs similar to those found at community colleges and technical schools. Most colleges will automatically transfer credits if the course is documented in a transcript. If it's not documented, colleges usually offer a review of the students' skills in that area to see if they can test out of the class and receive credit. Another criterion for most colleges is determining whether the classes fit into their individual programs. If they do and we have a comparable course, then we'll give credit.
Virtual universities are more credit friendly.
People taking classes through non-collegiate Web portals might also consider transferring their coursework to virtual universities, which only offer online learning but do give college degrees. Another college degree may prove more beneficial than another certification. Getting credits for your non-collegiate classes at these types of schools can be a little easier because the two typically offer the same types of courses. For years, people were stuck with the decision of going to college or entering the work force. Now, in a sense, they can do both.
