    Please alert me to any information on what school cooperated with the life experience credit suggestions.

    We grilled 'em, we shined a light in their eyes, we even beat 'em with a rubber hose. But they wouldn't cooperate.

    Seriously, what is it you're asking? Are you looking for schools that accept credits awarded for life experience? Schools that actually award such credit? Something else? Also, please alert us to the rest of your situation so someone might make a reasonably useful suggestion or three. We will cooperate.

    Hille asks, "Please alert me to any information on what school cooperated with the life experience credit suggestions."

    Alert: The American Council on Education, which publishes the annual compendia of life experience credit suggestions, says that something like 1,800 regionally-accredited schools follow their suggestions. End of alert.

    I got a friend; he's been an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic for just almost 20 years. He would like to get his experience or A&P license recognized. His goal is B.A. or B.S. neither degree-mill nor M.I.T., but something in the middle. He's looked into Embry Riddle Aero. University, and heard of Pikes Peak C.C.. My question for the group, does anyone have any other suggestions to check into before enrollment?

    I'm sure there are others, but I believe that Thomas Edison State College will grant substantial credit for an A&P License.

    Thomas Edison State College, Excelsior College, and Charter Oak State College are the "big three" most often mentioned as being liberal and flexible about awarding credit for prior learning, through portfolio assessment, examination or transfer credit.

    See http://distancelearn.about.com/cs/specificschools/index.htm for links to specific school policies. TESC's website seems to be down this morning; I'm sure it'll be back up soon.
