Does anyone have a spreadsheet/guide on how to complete Army Correspondence Courses? Any help is greatly appreciated!

The obvious answer is to sign up for & complete each one in turn. What specifically are you looking for? Without more information it just sounds as if you are looking for a shortcut or an answer key.

You can complete courses on ACCP, Skillport, JKO, ALMS, and ATRRS. Skillport is the most interactive and fun, in my opinion. I think I know about "spreadsheet." I saw it once in Korea on a shared drive. I deleted it. If you can't pass SSD without cheating, something is wrong. End rant.

Go to Skillport, that website doesn't crash like JKO or ALMS. When doing skillport courses, do the ones that list minutes and not hours first, then you can go back and do the others.

Defense Distribution Management has two subcourses which count for roughly just over 140 CC hours. That's almost half of what you need to max out CC hours. One of the things that I enjoyed doing was to double stack points, meaning there are some CCs that count as college credit according to the American Council on Education. Once you have completed the full course (meaning all subcourses), then your JST will be updated a few weeks later to include new courses completed on your military transcripts worth college credit. Look at the picture that I will post later. I was doing the 92G30 course because it is worth 19 college credits (more than any other CC), but I maxed out civilian ed by taking 30 CLEP and DSST exams in a two month period. That's not an easy feat, but once the Army said screw any privates who want to go to college before being a year outside of AIT, then I had to hit the books in another way. Now that I am already promotable to SGT, I am going through JKO to do some more CCs. This time I will focus on courses that teach language capabilities with my eye toward the future of intel being more dependent on cultural proficiency. Trying to get my points squared away for when I hit the SSG board, but also planning for what a centralized board will be looking for in the future. I am a few weeks away from a General Studies BS and hope to start working on my MBA by this time next year. My degree plan was accelerated by CCs and CLEP/DSST exams. Remember to keep yourself well rounded. Studying CCs that are outside of your job make you better at boards also.

Here is the photo I was referring to. This is off my own JST. Another way to help stack points is by doing some Skillport courses which culminate in technical certifications. Not sure which ones those may be because I never pursued that, but ask around and you might find out.
