No. FCCPT does not accept credits from platforms such as StraighterLine, Sophia Learning, Coursera, or similar online learning providers.
Why these credits are not accepted
FCCPT must follow the CWT guidelines which require that:
- Courses must be completed through a regionally accredited institution in the United States or an equivalent recognized institution internationally
- CLEP examinations that are passed with a score of 50 or higher
- Credits must appear on an official transcript issued directly by the awarding institution or on an official CLEP transcript issued directly by the College Board
- Coursework completed through third-party learning platforms is not considered acceptable, even if it is later transferred to a recognized institution
