This makes a lot of sense, although he is already a manager at 18, so is it possible that an OL degree could be a better fit for him than someone with no experience?

This is an excellent point. My thinking is that a 7-week term with minimum progress would be just enough to keep him on track, but if he has extra time and motivation at any point to accelerate, he can. It should be more structure and motivation to make progress than TESU, for example, where almost all the courses would be DIY.
