Program Description

Welcome to TAP. Technical Advanced Placement (TAP) exams enable qualified high school and Midlands Technical College students to earn free course credit by demonstrating specific competencies on departmental exams. Students who do well can earn exemption credit toward their programs at Midlands Technical College. This will save them time and money!

TAP exams were initially designed as a special part of the Central Midlands Career Partnership articulation agreement with local area high schools. They have now been expanded to include opportunities for MTC students as well. They are not transferable to other colleges and universities. Only current and future MTC students should select this method of receiving exemption credit. Students interested in transferable exemption credit should consider taking CLEP and/or DANTES exams.

There’s A Whole New Way To Take TAP Exams!

In order to make the exams more accessible, Midlands Technical College has significantly revised how we offer TAP exams. They are now offered in the MTC Student Assessment Centers on Beltline and Airport campuses during their regular working hours. Be sure to check out the new TAP procedures!
