GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR TEENS - College Credits & CEU's

Great Expectations is a college-level leadership development process specially-designed to satisfy the credit requirements at regionally-accredited colleges and universities offering assessments of prior learning.

Such assessments, known as Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR) evaluations, typically involve the preparing of a Learning Portfolio containing proof of the college equivalency of the program or programs being appraised.

A copy of the most comprehensive items needed for most Learning Portfolio's is provided to all Great Expectations graduates at the final session of the core program.

Many graduates of less rigorous (e.g. 42-hour) core programs designed by members of LCG have received 3 college credits in the lower baccalaureate division in communications or speech. As a result, LCG believes that graduates of the Great Expectations (54-hour) core program should be encouraged to pursue no fewer than 3 undergraduate credits via college and university PLAR assessments, plus an additional 3 undergraduate credits for successful completion of 50 or more hours of Embed reinforcement training. Of course, as in all matters related to the granting and transferring of college credit there are no guarantees and all final decisions regarding the awarding of credit rest solely with the college or university making the assessment.

The Leadership Capital Group LLC does not maintain a list of institutions granting credit for its programs, nor is it able to influence college or university decisions on behalf of graduates. Students interested in more information about the earning of college credit during high school are asked to contact their school guidance counselor or college advisor.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS

A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a universal measure of achievement used by companies and professional organizations worldwide to verify the successful completion of a quality educational or training program. Medical doctors, dentists, registered nurses, attorneys, certified public accountants and public school teachers are among the many professionals often required to accumulate CEU's on some specified basis in order to remain licensed. Typically, one CEU is awarded for every ten contact hours of training or education conducted by a qualified instructor.

All Great Expectations graduates automatically receive 5.4 CEU's upon completion of the core program via an official notation on each person's certificate of completion. Additional units may be awarded to core program graduates at the discretion of school officials for every ten hours of successful participation in Embed reinforcement modules.
