What kind of life and work experiences would be worth college-level credit?
Many adults have had a variety of experiences from which they have acquired college-level knowledge and skills. Business people often know sales techniques, business law, bookkeeping, supervision, inventory control and/or marketing. Secretaries often know keyboarding, computer skills, business English and office procedures. People who have written a great deal often know English composition and technical writing. Many managers know consumer economics. Many people have public speaking abilities. Work with volunteer and human service organizations could lead to credit for management and/or counseling. If the knowledge and skills are at a college level, it is possible that college credit could be awarded through portfolio evaluation.
