What is your current situation?

  • Are you frustrated by your job, working conditions, pay rate, or lack of advancement opportunities?
  • Advancing your career could change all that.
  • If a degree would increase your salary by just $20,000/ year and you worked another 25 years, that would be an additional half a million dollars over your working career!


What would an additional $500k do for you and your family?

  • Nicer home?
  • More travel?
  • Better schools? 
  • Better retirement?

What's Stopping YOU From Getting Your Degree?
students-against-busy-work-image

Let's face it, getting your degree is tough...



The traditional college path is time consuming, frustrating, and expensive, especially if you are already working and have a family...

  • Courses are expensive
  • Books are ridiculously expensive
  • Tons of homework, quizzes, reading assignments, term papers, research projects, and exams
  • Time and money wasted on unimportant courses


There's a Better Way: Credit-by-Exam

Credit-by-Examination lets you test-out or 'CLEP-out' of general education college courses like English, Sociology, or Math, instead of taking college courses. For example, instead of taking a boring semester-long course with all the busy work, you could get full credit for the same course by attending as few as four test prep classes and taking ONE exam.

Sounds great, right?

There is still a problem...

You see, while credit-by-examination has been around forever!

 

Have you ever tried to study to test-out of a class on your own or tried to grind your way through some boring, canned, online program? 


Frankly, it's crazy hard trying to do it on your own:

  • It's hard to stay motivated

  • Takes extreme discipline

  • No structure

  • No one to  guide you through the process

  • Nothing to keep you accountable

That's why so few people succeed with the DIY method.

 

Achieve has a better way: We'll help you every step of the way

Virtual Class Option: Take LIVE teacher Led classes from the comfort of home, nationwide.  

Our LIVE online classes are unique in the industry. They aren’t boring, canned online classes. They are taught live, allowing you to interact with teachers and other students, all from the comfort of home.

For most people, Achieve's virtual classes are the right blend of flexibility and accountability. You get the benefits of the flexibility of learning from home, but you also get the interaction with live teachers and other students. Because you are attending scheduled classes at set times, the completion rate is much higher than being left totally on your own.

"I took a virtual class and it was just like I was in a regular classroom except in my PJs! We received handouts and additional practice test and always had the opportunity to ask questions if needed! I'm signing up for another virtual class for my next class!"
