Just got a quick question here. Already I have been doing JKO Courses with DL points and some ATIS courses with (DL) listed, but it just feels like it is taking forever. Was wondering if anyone knows of any other sites to do courses for points. I am mostly using JKO and ATIS. If I can get some advice on which are the best sites, and which courses give me more bang for my buck. I am getting tired of doing 100 or so hour long courses for not that many points. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

JKO, ATTRS, ATIS (ALMS for us old-timers) are the main ones.
Keep in mind that the most you'll be able to get (for promotion to SSG) for nonresident training are 90 points and you won't be able to exceed 245 points total within the entire military education category.

Does anyone have an UPDATED list of ATRRS classes for promotion points? | RallyPoint
I am already tracking JKO for classes and I am tired of wasting time doing hour long classes at a time (its 2024...most have updated so you can't just click through them anymore and I have done all the 5hr+ courses). I am specifically looking for classes through ATRRS, I have heard about there being classes worth a lot of hours but have yet to actually see an actual list of those classes. I don't have any distance learning classes for my MOS...

Thank you for the advice. Tracking that it maxes out at 90 points. Promotion points for my MOS is extremly high right now. Just trying to do what I can to get the most points. Quick question, on ATIS the only courses worth promotion points are the ones with (DL) listed in the title? Or is it all courses that have you register through ATRRS worth points?

SGT(P) (Join to see) - Only the ones noted. Those are the ones that will automatically transfer into ATRRS and ultimately end up on your PPW.
If you want to have the 100% accurate list, go to the ACCP page* on HRC's website, click on the HRC’s Metadata Helper link, and follow the instructions to generate the list (of course, at the time I’m writing this the site was down).
As a side note, if you're not familiar with the Trend Report (most NCOs I've talked to don't), you might want to look it over.
The Trend Report shows eligible Soldiers with completion of the requisite level of training required for promotion, so it will give you an idea of where you sit compared to all the other Soldiers in that MOS eligible for promotion to SGT or SSG.
For example, going from your profile, you're a 25U eligible for promotion to SSG, and looking at that group:
• Currently there are 802 E-5s in your MOS that are eligible for promotion to SSG
• The average cutoff score for the last six months has been 742
• 88 Soldiers with the 25U MOS have been promoted to SSG in the last six months (average of 14+ per month)
• Comparing the current promotion points of the 25U SGT(P)s to the average, there are 15 Soldiers who have at least 750 promotion points, which would exceed the average cutoff score, and there are also 60 SGT(P)s that have promotion points in the range of 700 to 749.
