Woli.edu is RA accredited and offers certificates for $999 and they are worth 15 RA credits mostly UL. Cost is $66.60 a credit and I just began the certificate in economics. Each chapter has a quiz and a final exam. I'll post how my first quiz went once I take it tonight.
Books are included.
Quiz 1 is 150 minutes and 15 Questions, you can take it twice.

$999 for 15 credits seems expensive. And no one knows how they will transfer to your college.

You can try ASU Earned Admission ($99 for 3 credits until mid August).

Yes that's until August, but find me cheaper RA credits after August than $66.60 a credit. That's cheaper than a CC in most cases and these are mostly UL.

That is a great find for people that need some RA credits. The criminal justice certificate is 18 credits for $999 or $55.50/credit.

The Master Paralegal Certificate program is 45 credits and costs $1799 with all materials included. $40/credit.
The fact that their classes are all self paced and they do installment plans are also pros for some people.

Wow, this program is $30/credit or $999 for 33 credits.

WOLI doesn't have regional accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. They have obtained regional accreditation from MSA-CESS, the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. This type of accreditation is available for some select post-secondary, non-degree technical programs. I wouldn't count on any credit transfers. You'd be really lucky if you received any college credit for this type of lower-level technical training.

Wait, I found this:
https://www.woli.edu/learnstage/program_....php?id=16
So they allow you to take single 3 credit course for $299. That's $100 per credit.

Aren't those the same as the certificate courses?

Good find, I just emailed them to clarify.

I'm going to scratch this one...their claims of accreditation are extraordinarily deceitful. They certainly are regionally accredited but not for collegiate purposes. Hat tip to open air by pointing this one out, they certainly had me fooled. Requesting a refund at this point.
So for the record these are not for college credit.

Good call. I know in the past I was looking at another online school that was "regionally accredited" for vocational/technical training but only nationally accredited for college courses.

Yes, this is like Penn Foster High School & College (or Ashworth), their High School programs are regionally accredited but college courses are nationally accredited. WOLI owns Excel High School and they offer the same thing as Ashworth/Penn Foster. Just like Penn Foster, their high school/college courses are going through ACE recommendation for credit. However, even at that price, for the money, I would get an Associates from BOG AAS or the COSC AA/AS instead...
