I really wish something like this existed at a University level. I started and never finished a university degree in Australia (circa 2000), because I ran out of money and my home life was in a state of disarray (parents mid divorce).
20 years later I'm a working technologist and could probably teach almost all the undergraduate subjects, but I never got that piece of paper.
Universities usually have the ability to award credits for prior knowledge, but I doubt they would respond well to you rocking up and asking for credits in everything.
When I was applying for tech jobs, the lack of degree has never really mattered. Now that I'm self-employed it matters even less, except with things like long-term visas that often have requirements to have a bachelors degree as a minimum.
I don't keep up-to-date with how the computer-science degrees have changed over the years, though I'm not still programming in C/C++ either :)

I did half of my BS this way, it was via an experiential knowledge option at my university. I was at a state school and it boiled down to money either way, so be ready to pay wherever you go. I had to pay most of the tuition for each class and take the final exam for the credit. Saved me 2 years of actual time though.
