Coopersmith Career Consulting have been mentioned in another thread, and I found that they have various psychology NCCRS accredited courses
Coopersmith Career Consulting: College Credit Recommendations: NCCRS
None of these psychology courses show on the Coopersmith website ... as yet.
I have contacted Coopersmith twice via their contact page and via email, but they haven't replied.
Does anyone have any information per chance? I'm chomping to try one of their psychology courses

You can try to call Sari Rosenberg, PhD Coopersmith CC tel 845 367 1281.
(I tried to email and ask a question about their Microsoft Access course in July, and got this contact phone. They didn't want to tell anything in email, they wanted me to call them. I thought that this is a bit pushy, so I did the course in Penn Foster instead.)

I just want to chime in on this...I recently took their Abnormal Psych (still not showing up on their website). Cost was $150, much cheaper than the other testing options. I dealt with Sari mostly over the phone. Very straightforward- they email you the study info. You can buy or rent the textbook (I rented from Amazon, was $50 for six months.) The grade is based on your single test grade, and I was allowed to have our Education Department at work proctor my exam...no charge. I got an A. All in all, it was a very good experience. You could probably pass with only the info they email you and some on-line research, but I wouldn't risk it. I would definitely recommend this as an option for anyone needing an upper level Psych class.

Thanks for the feedback! I've a few questions regarding their psych courses...
1) What's the exam format like? Completely multiple-choice?
2) Were the questions specific to the textbook, like UExcels are?
3) Was the emailed info comprehensive of the material in the textbook? Were there any exam questions that were not covered in the emailed info?
4) Do they have a content breakdown in their syllabus detailing exactly which concepts you need to know?
TIA!

Mostly multiple choice, with six or seven requiring a paragraph long answer.
They send you a detailed syllabus, and what they call a "crash course". MEMORIZE the crash course. I read the book with the syllabus as a guide, making notes to help me retain some of the concepts.
It also helped that I had taken the other UExcels first, especially Research Methods In Psych.

The TECEP would have cost $111, but I'm glad it worked well for you. There is less risk in taking a course, except that they base your grade on one test.

Thanks! Did you use the recommended textbook edition or do you think an earlier edition would suffice?

I used the specific edition that they recommended...if you go to a different edition I wouldn't go too far back because all of the classifications changed a few years ago.
