If so, did you know that you may be able to utilize your multilingual capabilities to earn college credits? Here\u2019s how it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.languagetesting.com\/certifications-tests\/certifications\">ACTFL language assessments<\/a><\/strong>, delivered exclusively by Language Testing International (LTI) are approved by the American Council on Education (ACE)\u2014the major authority responsible for reviewing, evaluating, and determining college and non-college course credits. Language proficiency tests in speaking, reading, listening, and writing can potentially help provide you with entire semesters\u2019 worth of college credits!<\/p>\n<p>For what are approximately one-hour tests that require little-to-no preparation or studying and can potentially offset thousands of dollars and dozens of hours\u2019 worth of college courses, the benefits of taking ACTFL proficiency tests are a no-brainer for someone who already possesses a second-language skillset.<\/p>\n<p>A perfect example of our ACE accreditation-in-action is how LTI is helping some of JetBlue\u2019s 20,000+ diverse crewmembers acquire college credits through the JetBlue Global Scholars Program, especially if they are already proficient in more than one language.<\/p>\n<p>JetBlue\u2019s celebration of the diversity of its crew members includes the opportunity for their employees to apply prior college credits, training, and licenses as well as on-the-job training and multilingualism toward their associate or bachelor\u2019s degrees. In other words, JetBlue employees can leverage their technical and language skills for college credits.<\/p>\n<p>The JetBlue Global Scholars Program is making the dream of earning an associate or bachelor\u2019s degree possible for many of its crewmembers. And LTI is proud to be JetBlue\u2019s language testing provider.<\/p>\n<p>Passing just one of the ACTFL proficiency tests for a second language can earn JetBlue crewmembers up to 9\u201312 college credits, which helps them bypass three or four 3-credit courses alone.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe now is the time for <em>you<\/em> to leverage your second language, too!
