If you could tell us what certifications he has and when they were earned, we can give you a better idea as to what will transfer. I have a pretty good grasp on what will transfer for WGU and I got quite a few credits based on IT certifications there. TESU didn't even want to look at my certifications so you'd have a hard time getting credit through them for any IT certifications (oddly enough, they were more than happy to give me credits based on my FAA commercial pilot certificate).
The other option is to pay an application fee at the schools and have them evaluated formally, but that may get pricey. You may be able to ask the enrollment counselors at the school if they'd ever give credit based on those specific certs before he applies.
