Can credit for life experience be earned by distance learning colleges?
Answered By Devon Turnhill, Editor
More than just the benefit of earning a
degree online sans all the other hassles of
academic life, one can now even acquire a
degree using his/her life experiences. Many
online schools have Life Experiences Program
wherein one can obtain a degree by using the
skills, trainings, and other 'hands-on'
experiences one gained in the workplace,
through a training or a workshop. This
program is best for people with basic to
expert skill, talent or know-how on a
particular field, but without the educational
documents to prove it. Many online schools
offer to assess and evaluate a student's life
experiences for possible granting of a
degree. There are even some institutions
whose life experiences degree are almost
equivalent to an Associate, Bachelor or
Masters degree.
And while most employers still go for a
professional on a particular field, a life
experience degree is slowly gaining
recognition from many employers because it
certifies an individual's capabilities and
skills. There are a number accepting credits
conferred through a life experience degree,
and can even be useful for job promotions or
advancement.
