EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

(Aviation Field only and prepared at the request of select institutions of higher education where an experiential learning evaluation of aviation training is accepted)

The experienced-based learning evaluations prepared by ACEI are intended to assist those individuals interested in evaluating the non-traditional overseas learning acquired through experience for academic credit. This evaluation is prepared for those U.S. academic institutions which accept credit for non-traditional learning.

The recommendation of credit for learning gained through work and life experiences is contingent on the individual’s ability to satisfactorily demonstrate that the knowledge he/she has acquired is comparable to that of a college/university level course. College or university course credit comparability is not recommended for the experience alone, but for the knowledge and significant learning acquired from experience. For example, an individual would not qualify for college/university course credit simply for having been employed for a period of time. He/she must also demonstrate the acquisition of learning, knowledge, promotion and development in his/her field of employment.

An experiential learning evaluation is completed on the condition the employer/academic institution/agency accepts experienced-based learning evaluations in lieu of traditional education. Please check with your prospective employer or the college/university you wish to attend as to whether an experienced-based learning evaluation is accepted.
