Is it right that any military training (such as AIT) can only be used towards an Associates degree?

Answer by Lillian
Talk to an Air Force recruiter who can give you all kinds of information. I’ve heard the Army training is now counting towards college credit as it has been in the Air Force for years through the CCAF.

well you aren’t going to get enough to even accomplish an Associates with military training

go talk to your education personnel or officer
Yes, each college transfers them differently, so it is all up to the college you pick. Your education center can help you with each specific college.
any credits are better than no credits….when it comes to getting transfers in any degree. AA or undergrad or masters.
take what you can get.
Question your college adviser!
well it all depends on the teach and how many credits they will give you but usually there is a military represenitive at the schools that is in charge of helping with your g.i. bill and stuff like that and they can usually give you the down low in this area how many credits you can get
Each college treats military training differently. when I went to a university, the only transfer that I received was for vital training which counted for physical fitness, but then I found out that I needed to take a further class in its house. Talk to the college that you are interested in attending and that will answer your question.
The body that makes the most credible recommendations to schools is the American Council on Education (ACE). Take a look at the information available on their website.
A hint: the Army’s correspondence course program has the largest digit of courses already evaluated by ACE and they are available to all members of the active and reserve military regardless of branch. These courses cover pretty much every military occupation so if you are in health care and want law enforcement credits you can get them through this method. I left the active Navy with enough credit to start collage teach as a Jr. and continued with the courses as a reservist. By the time I refined teach I had enough credits form the Army courses for a second degree at they were all free.
