Since I have been getting a lot of DMs about my knowledge on this topic, I have decided to make this guide public. I have recently maxed out my distance learning hours. Please utilize the resources below to follow the guide. Understand that to max Distance Learning (DL) points means you have to obtain 450 hours, 90 points. Cutoff Scores to SGT and SSG are 24 - 798 depending on MOS and force strength. This means maxing out DL points will certainly assist you in getting promoted to SGT and SSG. Link to access the PPW. Please disseminate as widely as possible.

​

Theses courses are sorted from highest to lowest hours. Do the first ones first, as they give the most points.

Percipio/SKILLPORT COURSES: 198 HOURS, 39.6 POINTS

A+, NET+, SEC+, CLOUD+, SERVER+, CYSA+, CASP+, CISSP, DATA SCIENCE TRACK, LEADERSHIP FUNDEMENTALS

These courses should be easily found in the search bar, the ones I took were mainly IT focused, but they have a variety of courses available. BIG NOTE FOR PERCIPIO: I believe that courses under 1hr DO NOT count towards distance learning hours. This assessment is derived from me checking my ATRRS course transcripts and seeing the shorter courses I took gave me "0" hours.

JKO COURSES: 107 HRS, 21.4 POINTS

MEDICAL ETHICS AND DETAINEE OPERATIONS BASIC, MEDWEB DTRS RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST COURSE, HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE RESPONSE TRAINING, HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE RESPONSE TRAINING, INTRO JOINT MULTI-TDL NETWORK (MTN) (Must enroll in ATRRS and take on JKO, this cert is 20 hrs, 4 points.), EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS RESPONSE COURSE, DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES CRS

All these certs can be found in JKO except INTRO JOINT MULTI-TDL NETWORK, which is on ATRRS.
