ELI5: WGU Final Course/Cert Exams

SoCalGuy858

So, I'm a bit confused as to how WGU courses work for those that have certifications attached to them.

From what I'm reading, those that have a certification attached to them are designed so that the certification is your "final". Pass it and you get credit for the class.

Looking at a degree evaluation sheet... there are typically multiple certifications that can be used to fulfill the requirements for a five course. An example would be the BS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance's digital forensics course, fulfilled by either the CHFI or CCFP. So... in closing, what defines which certification you actually use to pass the course if you aren't actually transferring one of them in?

There is only one cert for the actual class, if a cert is the final. Like, a CCNA might fulfill the basic networking class requirements for transfer credit, but if you have to go through the class the final exam is Net+.
