It’s All Affirmation for Secondary Except: Automotive Technology: ASE NATEF Accreditation and Student ASE exam OSHA Safety Part 147 Aviation Programs Hospitality ServeSafe (NRA) EMT/Fire per State Administrative Codes CISCO Medical Assisting Nursing Coming Soon: Revisions to Pharmacy Technician NOTE: Distinction needed for Microsoft Server Administration or Linux but not both.

8. Getting the Most Out of Articulation
Use the course matrix to guide course delivery options
Talk early and often about college pathway, options, and CTAGs
Send verification forms, individually, with seal, to appointed representative, with accurate information. Look for additional guidance in Spring Semester.
Be mindful that individual test score (WebXam ®) reports must say “pass” when attached to affirmation forms.
