Refers to the direct evaluation of learning and credentials acquired in registered apprenticeship programs, industry-recognized credentials and assessments, and non-military training in the assessment of prior learning for college credit. The assessment involves subject matter experts examining the training directly (often in advance for commonly used training and credentials) and determining whether the outcomes of the training itself match the outcomes of a course (to create a “crosswalk” or “mapping”).  Learners who submit the proper documentation for the recognized training do not typically need to complete additional assessments in order to receive college credit; if insufficient documentation is provided, learners may be recommended to complete other forms of assessment in a credit for prior learning process.
