you can include commercial work experience, but not a college project, unless you specifically state that is was a college project.
look, in 10 years time no-one is going to worry if you have 9 years experience or 9 and a half years experience, but for the immediate future its best to be truthful and state "i have 1 year commercial development experience, and 1 year experience as an IT trainer as well as non commercial projects"
if they then want to know more, they can ask. the problem is the moment a potential employer senses that you are 'loading' your cv, he loses trust.

Be honest. list it as IT training experience. Any development house should see the benefit of dev theory that you have, as well as a benefit of transferring knowledge within the work place. so no, dont list it as dev experience, list it as dev training experience.
