Look up SEJPME on JKO. I believe it's on everyone's "career path", however I don't know if you have to be E5 to have it unlocked. It is above 40 hours. It's a pretty interesting course. Don't rush through it, though. You have to score above a certain percentage, and if you fail, you can be locked out.

MOS related. The army has many courses you can take that will enhance your points as well as your knowledge.

These are all 10 pointer's (not online):
The Army Maintenance Management System Clerk Course
Prescribed Load List Clerk Course
Motor Pool Operations/Management Course
Generator Operator Course
Fuel Handlers Course
Basic Welding Course
Forklift Operator Course
Bus Driver Course
Unit Supply Clerk Course
Unit Supply Operations/Management Course
Unit Armor Course
CBRN Defense Course
Unit Postal Clerk Course
Disk Operating System Course
Word Processing Course
Database Management Course
Unit Level Logistics System Course
Not sure if you can get any of these knocked out.
If you want points then go for something you can use, not just the easiest-quickest course. Good Luck, Semper Fi.

SSG (Join to see) Are you trying to be interested or are you trying to get promoted? When I was doing correspondence courses, I did whatever I could find, even courses from the band and I don't play any instruments.

Im trying to get promoted eventually. I'm trying to find courses that give me a lot of hours instead of short hours but all the courses I've been told about have been discontinued or no longer count for promotion points.

SSG (Join to see) Then I suggest that you start doing all the short courses instead of worrying about other courses that don't count or no longer exist.

I was on Active Duty from 1983-1987, we didn’t have those correspondence courses! However, I completed everything possible! There Should be a list of possible courses. I always looked at the course name & how many points I could earn from completion. I managed to Obtain an SQI from correspondence Courses: 75C1C
Personnel Management Specialist & NBC qualified. Cut Off scores only dropped once in my MOS. I managed to obtain 796 promotion points with a Permanent P3 Profile ( injury in Basic).
It dropped to 806 n September of 1987. Missed E5 by 10 points the month I was leaving the Army on my requested Medical Discharge. I would recommend you take all types of courses which you are interested in! Just make sure to keep copies of course completion CERTA & same CERTA are Entered into your file!
Good Luck & Keep Learning!

SSG Byron Howard Sr - Not sure. From what I remember, the same courses were available from ATRRS. That's where the original ACCP courses moved when they shut down the site.

AMEDD CBRN has two courses both worth approx.150 credit hours if I'm not mistaken. Check it out on JKO.

The one hour courseware from Skillport is what I used. Extremely tedious work, but 80 promotion points are well worth it.
