|
Successfully complete and pass all the courses in the series, read the required book(s), and pass the comprehensive exam with a score of 80% or higher. |
| |
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. |
| |
| |
|
Once your course work is verified, ACA will send the letter of training verification and the transcript to the college/university in a sealed envelope. A copy of the letter of training verification and transcript will be sent to you on the same day. |
| |
| |
|
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. |
