Competency and Transfer Credits

We realize that what you’ve learned on the job or at other educational institutions is valuable. Therefore, we offer options for obtaining credit for that experience.

Students enrolled in the RPA^® designation, FMA^® designation, SMT^® designation or SMA^® designation are eligible to apply for competency credits through two methods:

• Administrative Competency
• RPA ^® designation
• FMA^® designation
• SMA/SMT^® designations
• Competency by Review

Unless otherwise noted, students may receive competency credit for a maximum of:

• Three courses in the RPA^® designation and FMA^® designation programs
• Two courses in the SMT^® designation program
• One SMA^® designation course 

To transfer credits between designation programs, complete and submit the Transfer of Credit Form. For more information about competency credits, including the CPM Option, download the Competency Brochure in PDF format.
