The National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) is a third party credit evaluator that evaluates learning that occurs outside of a college. Only when a provider has a partnership with a college should this college credit be considered transferable. Unlike ACE/Credly, NCCRS college credit is held directly with the provider.

(effective January 2020, Charter Oak State College no longer accepts Coopersmith for college credit)
Coopersmith is essentially a guided self-paced learning program followed by a final exam. You’ll prepare using their materials and take their final exam. Passing the final exam is the only thing you need to do to get college credit.
The cost is low, at only $50 per credit. Most courses are 3–4 credits.
The format is simple: read the content, study on your own, take the test. Coopersmith uses the online web-proctoring service Proctor U to supervise your exam. (proctoring fee expected)
Coopersmith offers SO MANY CLASSES. I found a few courses in the NCCRS database that weren’t on the website, but upon asking, Coopersmith assured me that I could take any of their classes even if was title that wasn’t on their website.
Coopersmith classes are all slightly different. Some are multiple choice, others are short answer. Members report that Coopersmith is always happy to answer questions about the exam format.
This list is from the NCCRS database listing all of their courses approved for college credit.
