New EASY option for Excelsior Information Literacy

[GMT]

Apparently Coopersmith Career Consulting and Torah College Credits are linked. So I emailed TCC and so far their staff have been super helpful. Here's what I've found out...

1) The cost is listed here Costs - Torah College Credits. Basically, you pay a one year enrollment fee based on the number of credits you plan to take ($150 for 3-9 cr). Next, schedule the exam with ProctorU. Then on the exam day, pay the course fee ($195 for a 3-cr Gen Ed course) and the $25 proctor fee. Transcript will be sent to TESC with no charges.

2) To begin a course, create an account. Then login and download the study materials. Once you're ready, pay the enrollment fee and schedule the exam. (Inform them beforehand of the approx. date you plan to test.)

3) TESC won't provide the course equivalencies, but you could ask TCC to inquire with TESC on your behalf.

The courses are pretty much study at your own pace. I went through the materials... they don't look overwhelming. From what I understand, the exam questions are drawn from a test bank. They're a mixture of MCQs, short answers, and essays. Just wondering how well the materials prepare one for the exam. Assessment is completely based on a final exam.

To follow on from my PM to you
[COLOR="#2F4F4F"][COLOR="#0000CD"]"I used the "contact us" on Coopersmith and got no reply, twice.
I then contacted Torah College Credits and got an email from Rabbi Barry Munic
I then signed up by making an account, to find there were NO psychology courses on there, only a couple of computer courses, the Information Literacy one and lots of Torah courses.
I'm yet to get back to Rabbi Barry Munic and ask about the psychology courses.
However, I noticed it was all a bit more expensive than originally led to believe
And I was left feeling it may not be kosher"[/COLOR]

Did you ask about the psychology courses??
I'm yet to do that, but couldn't see them when I actually signed up for an account ... like I said, I was left feeling it wasn't kosher


..... UPDATE:
I emailed Rabbi Barry Munic back, and since my initial enquiry there are now a couple of psychology courses available
All Coopersmith psychology courses are available via Torah College Credits, you just have to ask for them to be added ... sounds very cool now

I shall be chasing this up with TESC equivalencies when I get a moment.
If there is a TESC acceptance guaranteed, and I've finished my outstanding Straighterline finals and the TECEPS I'm currently registered for, I will be jumping on one of these courses to try .... to save on the price of an E-pack .... or 2 .... or 3 .... and for the course/s not to feel like major surgery, would be wonderful!
