    About Company

    Achieve Test Prep's Mission: Less time. Less money. Same degree.

    Our tagline says it all; Achieve is like no other educational organization out there.

    Colleges and universities are out of control with ever-increasing tuition fees and expensive text books. While at the same time, they ask students to take online classes that aren’t even taught by live instructors.

    Achieve offers a unique solution. Our Credit-by-Examination Bridge program helps student get maximum credit for past courses and also test-out of many unnecessary general education courses.

    We also advocate on behalf of students by reviewing hundreds of accredited colleges to find out which one offers each student the most efficient path to their desired degree.

    And both Achieve’s campus based and online test prep courses are taught LIVE by teachers who are very experienced at helping students pass their ‘test-out’ exams on the first try.

    In fact, Achieve provides coaching and support every step of the way to graduation.
