No I don't have any prior learning or certificates in this subject. I do have certs in Logistics. My field of work needs me to have a BSBA Operations Management.
The OM concentration cannot easily be "tested out" of. You are going to have to take a few courses, either through TESC, or transferred in. Check to see if Penn Foster has some cheap options, or perhaps your local school.
When I did mine, I took took the Operations Management TECEP, and I took Total Quality Management through TESC. The TQM course only had two students in it LOL, me and another guy. It was interesting to say the least. The professor basically had to act as a student so we could "respond to two posts" like is required of the syllabus. But I learned a bit and it was pretty easy. The textbook is really boring though.
The rest of my OM credits were transferred in because my Military Tech school credits were in Purchasing/Contracting.
If you have an APICS credential, you may be able to convince TESC to award credit for it. The rest of the degree plan is easy because you just need to follow a standard BSBA degree plan (except for the area of concentration of course).

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
