Yes! After earning the ACSR, you may have earned credit towards:
-
Do the courses in the ACSR program earn CE credit?
ACSR core courses and Micro-Certs are approved for credit in most states. Verify individual state credit and exam requirements prior to enrollment.
-
Tell me about The Institutes Designations' exam windows and what is the best strategy to selecting a window.
Each exam window is open for 60 days. You may take your exam anytime during that time period.
We recommend you create a study plan to complete the course work first, then add two to three weeks for review and to complete the practice exam to be confident you are prepared. After creating this schedule, you should be able to select your exam window. If your projected completion date falls between exam windows, we recommend selecting the next exam window to not rush your studies.

Can I take a sample course before enrolling in a full course?
Yes! If you would like to preview an ACSR course, we offer a micro-course that includes an assignment from ACSR 321. The ACSR micro-course can be completed in approximately 30 minutes.
