Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC)
The Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC) acknowledges that learning happens beyond the classroom. Earn formal recognition for the skills you've gained in non-traditional settings.
Overview
Through Concordia's Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC) service, you can validate skills gained through work, hobbies, volunteer activities, or personal projects. These skills could grant you recognition for equivalent courses at Concordia Continuing Education.
It is not just about being awarded equivalency of a course; it is also celebrating and acknowledging the value of your personal and professional accomplishments!
