Back in 2012, I took a career exploration at this school. I was so inspired by it that I decided to write a tutorial on how it is done for the purposes of getting started, but not necessarily to replace instructions or hands-on learning.

I would like to self-publish it on the two major platforms being used, but I want to make sure I am doing it legally.

First, I indicated in the copyright notice or license agreement that this book is free to distribute for non-commercial use GNU General Public License 4.0

In the disclaimer, I indicated that the information contained herein are those of the author's research and do not represent the school in any way.

At the bottom, I gave resources, and gave credit to those at the school for having shown me the procedure.

Earlier this year, I asked a similar question about this, and I learned about the fair use argument.

Would it still be considered an infringement if I were to outline the exact steps based on what I recall, since I didn't come up with those steps originally?

If the content you are publishing is all in your own words, you are not copying anything, and therefore not infringing on anyone's copyright.
