Possible new use case

I think I may have a new use case:

"It should be possible to discover credentials that build on, or otherwise
require, credentials I have already earned."


In the U.S., it is not uncommon to have degree programs that: (1) accept
3rd party credentials as 'advanced standing' for the credential being
pursued; (2) require various 3rd party certifications to earn the degree
being pursued; or (3) provide learning opportunities that prepare a person
to successfully sit for a set of required 3rd party certifications.

For example, Brandman University's *Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology* [1] is of the third kind noted above in that it provides course
work qualifying a person to sit for seven externally awarded certifications
(e.g., CompTIA A+ etc.). See the CE description at [2] and click the "7
included credentials" link on the right.

Please excuse if this use case is included in some way in the current set
and I just missed it.
