Tech Prep College Credit Website

Take a peak at the changes that were made to the Tech Prep College Credit website over the summer http://www.lifetimeoflearning.com/techprep/default.aspx.

Tech Prep College Credit certificates are now categorized by career field to show the relationship to Programs of Study. Users will also be able to take advantage of enhanced report options.

Eight Perkins consortia collaborate to provide over 100 local and regional certificates to high school students that meet course objectives. Teachers can compare their course standards against college standards and to make requests for certificates. Over 150 high schools across southern Minnesota are eligible to participate in the online Tech Prep College Credit partnership.
