The issue with the APFT score and weapons qualification is that they expire. You have to maintain your ability in these categories or get to a high level and get promoted before they expire. Military training should be the base you work off of when it comes to Army promotion points. Focus on maxing out these categories and making them your platform. This category is not one you have much control of.
However, you can ensure that any awards, decorations or badges you have are recorded accurately on your Enlisted Record Brief ERB. This award is achieved by simply being in the Army for 3 years and is worth 10 Army promotion points. This sub-category only contains one thing, your designated NCO Academy or school. These are worth a maximum of and Army promotion point respectively.
However, you do not get the maximum just for completing the course. The new Army Promotion Point system has been designed to ensure that soldiers can not rack up a ton of points in this subcategory alone. It used to be possible to max out the entire military education category with Army Correspondence Courses alone. This is no longer possible due to the maximum number of points allowed for distance learning courses.
Resident based courses, that are worth Army promotion points, are any courses you must physically attend that do not result in a badge. These courses are awarded 1 promotion point for every 4 resident course hours. Many of the courses you will take for Military Education promotion points can also be used for Civilian Education promotion points.
You simply need to convert your military training into college credits. Civilian education is, in my opinion, the easiest category to max out. If you followed the link above about converting your training to college credits, you can see that a big chunk of points can be added to this category without doing any extra work. You can basically double dip for promotion points. The technical certificates portion has a maximum of 50 points.
If you have already completed some college, you simply need to turn in your official college transcripts to S1 for these courses to be added to your ERB and PPW. Every semester hour of college credit is worth one promotion point. These are college level tests that you can use to prove competency in a subject area. If you pass, you are awarded college credits based on the course difficulty. Most tests are worth 3 college credits; which means they are worth 3 Army promotion points. If you are Active Duty, you can schedule these tests at your education center on post for free.
What have you got to lose? Sign up to take the tests that sound easy to you. If you pass — great! If you fail — oh well.
It wont hurt you to try. There are a ton of different certificates you can earn, that are relevant to your Military Occupational Specialty MOS , that are worth Army promotion points.
Each technical certificate is worth 10 points for a maximum of 50 points. If you are fluent in a language other than English, I highly suggest you take the proficiency test for that language. These points are valid for 1 year from the month and year you earn them.
The Degree Completion program offers 10 Army Promotion points to any Soldier who completes a degree while on active duty. If recommended for promotion to SGT, the Soldier must have completed the degree since joining the Army to receive these points. This means that those recommended to SGT have 80 hours less to do to max out their computer based training points. You can now max out your computer course hours with Army Skillport hours 62 promotion points.
It is still a requirement to go to WLC though. If you have been around the block a few times, you have been told by everyone and their mother to do the Microsoft courses on Skillport. Am I right? It is true that these are the easiest courses to do, but only if someone has shown you the cheats to get through them faster.
If you have already registered for Army Skillport E-learning, go ahead and log in now. Once you click on that folder, you will have to keep clicking on folders until you reach the actual courses. Each individual course has a little computer screen next to it on the left and a little green dot to the right once it is completed. Army Skillport cheating is not possible like it used to be in the Army correspondence courses.
Skillport is designed so that there is no specific set of questions for all soldiers. It is just a loophole in the system. Click on your first course. You will then see all the information about the course; including the course hours. Most of the Microsoft courses are listed in minutes; but we all know that 60 minutes is equal to an hour. This is what you will see when you click on your first Army Skillport course.
Picture above. Inside of the launched course, you will see a listing of all the sub-courses. These are the courses that must be done before you can get credit for the whole course. This is where the tricks comes in. The screen shot below shows my course as complete-please ignore.
