About Achieve Test Prep
We believe our employees empower our company and are the reason behind our success.

We are the nation's largest educational consultant and test prep center specializing in credit-by-examination degree paths, headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey.

Most working adults struggle to overcome the many obstacles associated with obtaining their college degree.

Achieve acts as a counselor, advocate, and partner, helping students achieve their degree in less time, with less effort, and for less money by utilizing an alternative path to earning college credit known as the credit-by-examination process.

Achieve helps students bypass all of the busywork associated with taking certain college courses the traditional way by instead passing just one test-out exam.

While our credit-by-examination programs can shorten the path to any degree at virtually any college, the field where we have the most significant impact is the nursing profession.


Employee engagement and development is one of the keys to our success at Achieve Embracing a work-from-home model for the entire company, all employees enjoy a better work-life balance through flexible work schedules.

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace, where diversity is celebrated and equal opportunity is the cornerstone of our culture.
