That's true, I pay US$230 per month, max 6 courses each 6 months.
Quote:The only TECEP that applies directly to the BACS is Network Technology. The rest will either be used in the general education area or in electives.
Thanks, thats what I saw on the site but seemed odd to be only a course...

You speak Spanish so if you get the highest score on the exam, you could get a whopping 36 US credits where 12 are highly coveted Upper Division courses for around 330 USD for all 4 exams. Also try to sign up for the tecep exams while they are still free. That could be another 15 credits where some are upper level. By just passing 5 tecep exams and scoring the highest on the Spanish exam, you could have at least 50 credits.
Thanks for the info, @Avidreader, but from other threads I gather free TECEPs are only for New Jersey residents, right?
Noted the ACTFL, very thanks again.

Welcome to the board, great first post as you've completed the basic template and last post addendum asking for more details. If you're looking at US degree and need a combo type of degree for Business/Info Sys, you can go for the UMPI Project Management & Info Systems degree. If you're looking at UK degree options, then a Level 4/5/6 and top-up combo would work as well. I suggest you take some time to review this thread here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...us-student
I currently pay 185EUR ($230-240 a month,that's why that's my budget, that's counting bank transfer and conversion to euros)
I was considering Purdue Global, but from reviews here and Reddit, I see they can be very time consuming, would rather take something hard and short term than pretty much having another full time job out of doing papers.
I had also started to enroll into UoPeople, but stopped because the Ministry of Education doesn't give equivalency to a Licenciatura to a NA Bachelors from US (even if you work in the private sector, if you don't have MINEDs evaluation of your degree, it's as good as a Degree Mill like St. Regis or Almeda)
The Level 5 IT > Top-Up into Derby sounds tempting as my Employer can pay tech certifications(Work in IT), and can try telling them to pay for the L5IT, and can get it faster(at around 21 months), can take pauses at needed (pay-per-subject modality); But I also wanted to ask here for better/faster/cheaper options before taking such approach.(Also it's just slightly over my budget)

That seems to be only normal studies, cannot find it in YourPace, only Bach. Liberal Arts with Management Information Systems minor, is that it?
Going to read further into that thread.
