ProvenPath™ Competency Credit: Shorten Your Course with Approved Experience
The benefit
Approved experience may shorten your course
Competency Credit is a formal review of healthcare experience you already have. If approved before your program begins, credit may be applied to eligible portions of the course so you do not repeat skills you can already demonstrate. This can reduce your required training hours and shorten your individual course plan.
What approved credit can change

Approved credit can reduce the training you must complete and shorten your program. The exact change depends on the experience and skills verified during your evaluation.
Experience that may be reviewed
- Phlebotomy experience
- EKG skills experience
- Clinical experience
