Earn College Credit for DCITA Training Courses
The Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy (DCITA) received college credit recommendations from the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE) for seven courses. The American Council on Education is the major national coordinating body for postsecondary education.
ACE selects college faculty members to review and make credit recommendations for formal educational programs and courses offered by various training organizations. Its credit recommendations are intended to guide colleges and universities as they consider awarding such credit. ACE reviews all courses according to standardized policies and procedures and therefore has a consistent review process that is accepted by colleges and universities as non-partial and credible.
As a result of the ACE reviews, DCITA is now authorized to use the ACE college credit recommendations made for the following courses:
- Introduction to Networks and Computer Hardware (INCH)
- Computer Incident Responders Course (CIRC), formerly IRC
- Basic Cyber Investigations Course (BCIC)
- Windows Forensic Examinations - EnCase (WFE-E)
- Forensics and Intrusions in a Windows Environment (FIWE)
- Forensics and Intrusions in a Linux Environment (FILE)
- Live Network Investigations (LNI)

ACE recognizes these courses as college level courses. Persons who are enrolled in degree programs at a postsecondary institution such as a college or university can submit an ACE transcript to their faculty advisor for consideration of transfer credit. Each college sets its own policies for granting transfer credit. You should check with your faculty advisor for guidance on transfer credits for your program.
