PLA through Learningcounts.org to TESC

[JohnnyHeck]

First, once again I will post what the TESC PLA manager, Todd Siben, has told me about any affiliation with Learning Counts: "To indicate that we are a partner with Learning Counts is a misnomer. These guys learned the route from us."

Second, TESC is under no a priori obligation to cross any Learning Counts PLA, no matter what credit recommendation outfit it comes from, to any specific TESC transfer equivilency course for their degree requirments even if titles and/or descriptions appear to be logically matched.

Third, by corallary, to take any Learning Counts PLA without prior plan approval from TESC is a risky proposition.

Fourth, this is the thrid time I have sent a specific inquiry to Learning Counts for them to clarify their relationship with TESC. To date I have never received a reply from them. Sure sounds fishy to me.

Fifth, late breaking news, CanteyHumter has just replied to my email, she did do 5 courses of PLA 18 months ago with Learning Counts and got them accepted at TESC for free electives on her pre-enrollment evaluation. However, the subjects were related to her being a "Cerified Medical Assistant" So, its not at all clear to me whether TESC gave her these credits for the actual PLAs or because they do grant credits for this "license" in any case.

Gang - The case is still open as to whether TESC will accept PLA from Learning Counts and under what circumstances
