Does anyone know any Good correspondence courses that are quick and worth a good amount of points?

I had my correspondence maxed out for SSG when I was a SPC. I did all mine through Skillport. It was painful; there was nothing quick about it. Slow and steady wins the race. In the meantime of searching for your quick and easy, check out Skillport if you haven't already. It also has classes that could help you get civilian certifications, but you will have to put effort into it. https://usarmy.skillport.com

The Army may still offer on-line courses in Lean, Six Sigma, or Lean Six Sigma. If you are process oriented, these courses should be interesting and applicable to your work. Not sure about points.

What's your purpose of taking the course? If it's for a retirement purposes; SMs are no longer entitled effective April 30, 2016.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member military career is a long ass marathon, not a 300 meters sprint! Like others have stated, slow and steady...

I would recommend online college courses, they are worth the same number of points and benefit way more on the long run

For that I would recommend skillsoft. Just Google it and it should be the first thing that pops up. It will have plenty of options for you. Hope that helps.

While I applaud the desire, the reason may be misguided. But since you have the drive for education take course related to your field, points will come as a matter of course. Thank you for your service.

Consider shifting your fields of view. Focus on knowledge and learning.

I agree with SSG Private RallyPoint Member .Start knocking out some college courses. There are plenty of schools that are pretty liberal about transferring military training into credit hours. But actually enroll and apply those towards a degree instead of just paying for colleges to convert a few credits for a couple of points on your 3355.
