Now that you’ve started,

what are some of the lessons

you’ve learned?

Next Steps at LCC

• Adopt the experiential learning, competency-based testing

model to other programs.

• Currently in development or ready for roll-out:

• Computer Networking and Information Security

• Aviation Technology

• Construction Trades

• Surgical Technology

• Radiologic Technologist

• Continue to develop new crosswalks from military curricula to

civilian college course requirements to provide transferable,

nationally accepted college credit for prior learning.

How can we speed this up?

• Begin with military evaluations, then other PLA forms

• Put metrics in place

• Use CPL champions

(recruit ACE evaluators*)

• Centralize the process

• Use other institutions/systems as guides
