How can I convert my diploma to college credits?

<h3>How can I convert my diploma to college credits?</h3>

I am from Albania, and recently moved to New York. I am registered to take the ATAS test (Assessment of Teaching Assistant Skills). I have been searching for teacher assistant jobs online and some of them require 6 college credits. How can i transfer my degree into credits?


<strong>Albania best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by wayfaroutthere</i><br/>The easiest way would be to take the CLEP--it is a test that gives college credits for knowledge, rather than courses:

You may be able to apply for the job with just your degree, but they would then try to assess what the level of education you received in Albania would compare to in the US. If they decide it isn't worth the trouble, they may just pass on your application.</p>
