Does CAPCE certification transfer to college credit?

I'm certified through CAPCE and was wondering if this could count as college credit when I apply to a university? Has anyone successfully transferred these credits?

CAPCE, or the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education, is a recognized accrediting agency for EMS continuing education. However, this accreditation is mostly used for maintaining licensure and professional development within the field of Emergency Medical Services.

It's important to note that CAPCE accreditation itself does not automatically translate into college credits. Each college and university sets its own policies regarding the transferability of professional certifications or credentials like those accredited by CAPCE.

If you're hoping to receive college credit for your CAPCE-approved coursework, I recommend reaching out directly to the admissions offices or registrars at the schools you're interested in. Inquire about their policies regarding transferring credits from professional or vocational certification programs. Remember that even if they do allow it, there may be a limit to the number of credits they'll accept in this manner.

Additionally, it could be beneficial to look into paramedic or EMS-related degree programs which may be more likely to have experience evaluating and potentially offering credit for this type of certification.

Keep in mind that even if this credit doesn't transfer directly, having a CAPCE certification could still be beneficial to your application as it showcases your commitment and experience in the field of emergency medical services.
