To assist programs and students, ACEND has developed resources and services that facilitate student success and program innovation, including:

ACEND-Approved Bridges, a quality-approved option for students to gain the academic or supervised-practice competencies. Academic programs and institutions complete the online application and engage in curriculum evaluation to become an approved bridge.

Prior Assessed Learning (PAL) Service supports programs and students with their admission needs. Opening in early 2027, the ACEND PAL Service will evaluate current and prospective students' prior education and experience to determine whether they have met ACEND-required competencies.
