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
Your individual course plan
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
- Clinical experience
How to request Competency Credit
- 1Contact our office to complete the Work Experience Transfer Equivalency Evaluation Form.
- 2Have your previous work experience verified by your employer or human resources department.
