Inver Hills Community College will grant credit equivalencies to the information technology courses listed based on certification exam results that meet the following criteria:
- Exam is administered by Pearson VUE, Thomson/Prometric or a future authorized industry certification testing company. Certification results are confirmed directly from certifying agent (e.g., Cisco, Microsoft, CompTIA) through mail, secure website or other means initiated by the certifying agent. The student is responsible for making arrangements to provide this documentation.
- The certification exam is based on outcomes and objectives that correspond substantially to the content being taught in current courses. In cases where the current course content is based on technology that is substantially different from the certification exam taken by the student, credit will not be granted. Students my retake exams to qualify for credit equivalency.
The table below is a general guideline and does not assure the academic credit will be granted for specific exams. Exams vary in content and structure over time and may not measure the current outcomes and objectives of a course; in such cases, credit cannot be given for current courses.
| Exam/Certification | Course No. | Course Description | Credits |
| CompTIA A+ Certification (2 Exams) | CNT 2300 | PC Hardware and Software (A+) | 3 |
