<p>Hard Knocks, </p>
<p>I went throught the College Board AP Course Audit for all of our homeschool-study AP course, so we are allowed to use the designation just like any school. It’s a bit of a hassle - you have to create a syllabus according to very strict guidelines, but it’s doable. Some subjects they seem much less picky than others, so your mileage may vary. I’ve had quite a few courses approved.</p>
<p>lwilliams – I usually look at the texts used by the online providers, perhaps ask some professors I know, look for online syllabuses, even the example syllabuses at College Board will suggest texts, which you can then look up reviews on.</p>
