| |
Step 2 |

Request a training verification letter and transcript letter from ACA. First, download a copy of the “Request for Training Verification Letter and Transcript” form, complete it, and mail it to the ACA’s Professional Development Department c/o OCA. Please print clearly on the form. If you have completed your courses prior to the year 2000, you must send copies of your certificates along with the form. |

|
Note: The verification of your course work will take no more than two weeks from the date ACA receives this form. |

Step 3 |

Download a copy of ACA's “Course Descriptions” and the ACA’s “Site Visit Report,” which are under the “Directory of CJTA Credit Excelsior Recommendations.” These documents will show that the courses were recommended for college credits and will identify the course objectives and other components that need to be reviewed by the college or university |

Step 4 |
|
When you receive a copy of the transcript and letter confirming your training, you must then send a copy of the Site Visit Report and the Course Descriptions to the college or university. |
