College Credit for OESM Training

If you have completed classes offered by non-college organizations (excluding military training *), you may be able to get college credit. To qualify:

  • The course(s) must cover the same content as an OESM course offered by HCC.
  • Certificate of completion of course must have your name and date on it
  • Hours of training must equal credits. 16 hours = 1 credit. Combination of training classes can equal an OESM course.

The training institution must be in the HCC articulation database.  If not in database, you need to provide detailed information on:

The institution:

  • Name, Address, Phone Number, Website, if available
  • Mission, Standards, Professional Organizations which recognize training program.

The course:

  • Course Title
  • Course Description
  • Course Syllabus or Outline
  • Training Hours
  • Evaluation of completion of course- written test, practical or hands-on, project.
  • Currency of training

Steps:

  1. Look up course and training institution in HCC’s articulation database.
  2. If you cannot find course in database, e-mail Marilynn Ito-Won, Counselor at Marilynn@hcc.hawaii.edu with course alpha, number, title, training institution, address.
  3. Marilynn will check further in the articulation database, as sometimes entry into the database is confusing.
  4. If course is not in articulation database, check to see if the non-college training you completed matches an OESM course.  OESM course descriptions and syllabi are posted on the OESM web site.

    • Name of training institutionv
    • Address, Phone, Website
