Fastest method for AS Generals?

[xicovu]

You might want to read the fine print - the Penn Foster $49 a month is a payment plan, not an all inclusive competency like WGU (do as much as you can in a set amount of time); Penn Foster still charges per credit

Penn Foster charges a flat tuition per semester ($1259 full-pay, $1499 with auto-pay or $1549 with mail payments). The $49 (or $59 as their website says) a month is a payment plan, but I think we need to pay the full amount by the end of semester to be able to advance to next semester.

Either way works for me. This AS Industrial Electronics will be extremely useful to me. Hopefully my work can flip the bill by then. If not, $1200ish isn't two bad to make three payments of $300.

My biggest concerns is how fast the Penn Foster courses are vs. SL/Study.com/Schmoop. My second big concern is whether getting the AS will clear the 42 GE credits at WGU or not. I'll use Study & SL for certain if that is the case.

Just curious msganti, are you or have you done Penn Foster? I'd definitely like someones brain to pick.
