What is a pipeline course?
The Navy offers some courses that are called pipelines. The student would take course A, B, C, and D, and then receive certification for course E. ACE recommends credit for each of the component courses on the expectation that not all students will complete the entire pipeline and because components of the pipeline can change. Students will receive a certificate and entry into their records upon completion, citing a new number (course E) and title. However, the exhibit in the Guide will say: “This is a pipeline course” and will list the components.
