You may have called already but any education center on posts will have an updated list of specific courses you can take to earn promotion points. I sat down with a college counselor to find out what classes I could do for my promotion when i was enlisted. Here is the info for our ED Cntr if it helps you out. They may have Computer Data Management or can help you with correspondence courses. Here is a link for this if interested. I did plenty of correspondence courses when I was a PFC/SPC to get my points. There will be a list of courses that you may find appealing to sign up for and complete. Hope this helps you out some.

SFC Private RallyPoint Member check out this post from SSG Private RallyPoint Member it might be of some use for you. https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/are-your-soldiers-maxed-out-on-their-computer-based-promotion-points

Are your Soldiers maxed out on their "Computer Based" promotion points? | RallyPoint

With the current promotion system SPC/E-4's are entitled to 78 "computer based" promotion points towards promotion to SGT/E-5 and SGT/E-5's are entitled 84 "computer-based" promotion points towards promotion to SSG/E-6.   When I say computer based I'm referring to all non-resident military training including Army Correspondence Course Program (ACCP), Distance Learning, and Army E-learning.  I bring this up because I created...

I don't know but I would hope completing FEMA Courses would count. Check with your Training Officer. I know I have done a butt load of the FEMA Courses and they are a lot of fun.

Access ATRRS and search their courses for Army Defense Distribution Management. Once registered this course will appear in ALMS under assigned courses shortly after. This ACCP is consisted of two parts, and each test will take approximately 1 hour each to complete. The total course hours after completing both tests is 158 hours or roughly 31 promotion points.

This is one of the largest course hour programs in ACCP that I know of. Along with myself, I also assisted any promotable E-4's in my fire time in registering for this course. You can easily knock out almost half of your hours this way. Also, it is worth ACE - 3 Semester Hours for Undergraduate programs.

Sgt Strachan. Create an account on skillport and take the six sigma classes and the Microsoft desktop classes like excel, PowerPoint, etc. Not only will you get promotion points, but they will also transfer over as college credits as well. Good luck.

If i read your question correctly. You are talking about corresponding courses right? If so, Have you gone to usarmy.skillport.com ? If not, Once you log-in go into the catlog section and do all of the ace college credit courses all of those courses are worth points.

utilize skillport for army correspondence courses. THe courses are long and the point yield is low. If you want points faster max out your pt and weapons qual scores. A max score in each of those together yield 280 points....160 for pt, 120 for qual.

The classes I recommend are the Headstart 2 Language courses. They are worth 80hrs each. You have to register through ATRRS, you can find this through AKO (My Training) and when you get the confirmation email you then log into JKO and search in Curriculum (*this is IMPORTANT! Make sure it is Curriculum, not Individual Courses. I had to take the German couse twice because of this) then enroll in the language you selected in ATRRS.

I've taken three languages and got 80hrs for each.

Hope this helps
