It's a tough call...they gave you a pretty good chunk for the credits, but the difference in how Excelsior and TESC evaluate credits is significant. Hopefully someone who has more knowledge than I can comment. I was not able to find a database management testing option, and I'm not sure if they will take CSU Globals Systems Analysis and Design CBE at excelsior. That means you will require atleast a couple of classes, maybe use these as part of your 12 credits needed.
I'd suggest the Networking TECEP. You'll pass without study given your CCNA knowledge. It's like Networking in the 90's early 2000's (remember token ring?), but the CCNA is significantly more involved. Know the OSI model & TCP/IP model and lookup some basic info on thinnet/thicknet (if you don't remember..) and you'll likely pass.
Programming - SL has an option that's really simple if you already know to code. I could have blown through it in less than a day if I focused on it.
Org Behavior & Principles of Mgmt - I'd recommend SL. I like the format though, so I'm a bit biased. I hate going to testing centers.
Production/Ops Management - Don't believe the course you have will work. I'd look at the Ops management TECEP
Financial Management - Don't think this will work. Look at DSST or Penn Foster for this.
Natural Science - This will work, but I'd suggest environmental science instead, it's probably easier.
Business Law - The SL options is pretty easy/cheap.
There's a ton of other options as well. That's just my 2 cent.
Currently studying for: Still deciding.
