“Choosing to enroll and attain my college degree after being away for many years, I was able to complete some of the required classes quicker through the Credit for Prior Learning opportunity. I was able to use my previous and current work experience and AHDI certification to complete at least six of the required Administrative and Healthcare Office Professional Program courses by demonstrating I had the skills and experience needed to pass the classes through credit for prior learning.”–JU, RCTC Administrative/Executive Office Professional student
