This list provides an overview of your credit requests. You could assess the value of the various sources you cite to show your depth of knowledge. Now that you've worked up your resume and your inventory, you're probably wondering what kinds of skills and knowledge faculty will be looking for when they evaluate your portfolio. Measurability is also enhanced by testing and other performance reviews you have received. Theoretical learning is generally that kind emphasized in college courses, so this is what you need to stress.
Generalized knowledge comes from learning that relates to a wide variety of applications.
Knowing how to hang-glide or how to place explosives when blasting in a mine are such specific skills that you're unlikely to get college credit for them unless you can show how they relate to a more general understanding of aerodynamics or the chemistry of explosives. The materials you have assembled so far will provide the basis for writing your portfolio. But you still need to identify courses that are related to your knowledge and skills, and this isn't always easy. It is only after identifying specific courses for possible college-equivalent credit that you will be ready to write the narratives that justify your credit requests.
