Hi,
My name is Talia, I am 25 years old and I currently live in London and I currently work full time as a teaching assistant. As I mentioned in the title I would like to get a degree ASAP and I'm not too fussy about a major. I've transferred all my credits to UMPI, I'll attach a ss below for how my previous education transferred in. Ideally I would like to get this done in 1 term and I would love some guidance on what in your opinion you would recommend with my combination of classes and particularly if there's any advise on what order to take classes.
Thank you in advance for all your help and let me know if I can provide anymore information.

@Talia99, Welcome to the board, that's a good first post with some information and a screenshot, having said that, you're missing the bulk of the addendum and template, as the info contained within would provide a bigger overview of your situation. It's great you're starting off with providing some detail, but the more, the better we can assist you, please update us with the info here:

Budget: I have about 5K£ saved up. I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast. Ideally I would like to do this for no more than 3k but my priority is to graduate so I am willing to spend more.
Commitments: I am currently working full time(8-4pm) and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends. I also have about 6 weeks of annual leave which I can use so j can study full time.
Dedicated time to study: I can study 2-3 hours everyday after work and 8-9 hours over weekends so total 26- 30 hours or
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. The school I'm working at is offering a paid opportunity to get teaching qualifications starting in Sept which is why I would like to graduate by this summer and I do not need a specific major/minor
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I don't get any reimbursements
I hope thats everything.
Thank you

My suggestion is to do the UMPI BLS with a minor or two of your choice, other than that, you can do a Level 6 UK diploma and Bachelors top-up of your choice. Screenshot doesn't list what the LL and UL electives are for your degree evaluation, anyways, I suggest you wait for an academic evaluation from UMPI with the advisor, it'll show you what's missing for the degree and will be highlighted in yellow. If you want to 'get ahead' you can complete any Sophia.org classes you know you're missing for max transfer of 90 credits, such as the General education (if you're missing a Language class or Science & Lab).
Review the WIKI links here for the General Education requirements and any BLS Minor you're interested in, get the classes completed with Sophia.org that doesn't duplicate your current credits, then email your academic advisor and get the yellow highlighted evaluation. Post it here so we know what's missing, then we can recommend you what you need to take either by transfer credit or through UMPI for residency credits, you need at least 30 credits done at UMPI...
