The American Council on Education is an independent association which acknowledges that industry sponsored educational and training courses can be comparable, in content, quality, degree of difficulty and level of instruction to courses delivered at a college and university.

Such courses can be reviewed by an academic team of the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service (formerly ACE/PONSI) and academic credit hour recommendations assigned to specific courses. Once this process has been completed, the employees may transfer such credit hours directly to local colleges and universities.

The benefits that you and your employees may derive from these reviews are substantial. Hundreds of the nation's leading companies, corporations, associations and government agencies have undergone the review process. In many cases, this participation has amounted to actual cost savings of millions of dollars in employee college tuition reimbursement. Employees earn college credits by participating in company sponsored educational programs and significantly reduce the time and money required to earn college degrees. Experience shows that this program encourages employees to complete their academic studies.

We offer assistance to organizations for a preliminary review, and potential reformatting, restructuring and upgrading of in-house training programs to prepare them for formal review by ace. We have pioneered this effort with many electric utilities, high technology-specialty companies and the personnel industry. Our clients have received outstanding credit recommendations and have transferred thousands of academic credit hours to college and university programs. We are uniquely qualified to assist you in becoming a leader in employee education through the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service.
