This is an opportunity for students to receive credit for college-level knowledge and skills obtained outside of college through faculty designed, course-specific examinations/test outs and if appropriate hands- on demonstration of knowledge and skills. Contact the State Technical College of Missouri’s Testing Center for more information at testingcenter@statetechmo.edu.

• Industry Credentials/Licenses

Students who possess a current valid license or industry credential that is equivalent to a course or courses offered at State Technical College of Missouri may be awarded credit for that course or courses. Contact the Registrar for more information at registrar@statetechmo.edu.
