I'm imagining that, like me, many of you have amassed a wide variety of experience and training over the years. After all, we are self-motivated enough to study independently for our degree, so it's not surprising that this willingness to pursue learning has shown up in other places within our lives. The question I have is whether it is worthwhile (at least in my case!) to try to turn that wealth of varied experience into credits.

I confess that preparing a portfolio for evaluation sounds like quite a bit of work--especially in the "demonstrating" part. Also, in my case, I am not sure how much of my experience translates to a Liberal Arts degree (psychology). Yet, I don't want to sell myself short or miss opportunities.

Has anyone here pursued prior learning credits? What experience did you leverage and how did the process go for you? Also, where are/were you enrolled? I'd love to hear your input!

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, as the IC forums are appropriately about testing out. If someone knows of a better place for me to ask for input, do let me know!
