| Question: |
What kind of student support services are available? |
| Answer: |
ITCAP is committed to ensuring that AICs provide the highest
level of student support available. For this reason, AICs are required to make
certain student support materials available to ITCAP students on a reasonable basis.
Students may or may not have to pay for these materials, but each AIC must
agree to make these learning and support materials readily obtainable by its students.
ITCAP also stipulates that students have reasonable access to AIC
instructors and lab time, based on factors such as class size and student needs. AIC
instructors will make themselves reasonably available on a scheduled basis to review
course material with students either collectively or on an individual basis as requested
by the student. Labs will provide hands-on experience needed by ITCAP program
students for completion of appropriate learning objectives. |

| Question: |
What school issues the college credits? |
| Answer: |
Academic credits are issued by
Pima Community College
(PCC), located in Tucson, Arizona.
PCC is accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
(NCA), one of six regional accrediting bodies authorized by the U.S. Department of Education
to accredit all major colleges and universities in the country. |
| |
| Question: |
Will credits from PCC transfer to another college or university? |
| Answer: |
Transferability of credits and degrees is
a matter determined by the institution receiving the credits. Credit transfer
acceptance decisions are usually made separately for each individual student, and depend on
several factors. Many institutions do readily accept transfer credits as long as the credits were earned
from accredited institutions. PCC is a well-known and fully-accredited institution,
which means that PCC credits are often accepted for transfer to other institutions.
However, any ITCAP student wishing to transfer PCC course credits to another institution
should consult registration personnel at that institution at the earliest opportunity to
ensure that the desired transfer will be accepted. |

| Question: |
What is the difference between ITCAP and ACE? |
| Answer: |
ACE (American Council on Education) evaluates vendor training
and recommends the number of credits that colleges or universities could theoretically recognize for each
course. However, even with ACE recommendations in hand, many tuition reimbursement programs still
require employees to register at an accredited college, and then attempt to convince that
college to accept the ACE credit recommendation. Credits earned through ITCAP, on the other hand, are actual academic college credits issued by one of the
nation's largest and most renowned public community colleges. |
