I've done this. The most common scenario seems to be in theological seminaries where accreditors (as modeled by the Association of Theological Schools/ATS) seem to allow folks with demonstrated academic ability the option to enter into a master's degree without having completed a baccalaureate degree. ATS allows school to admit no more than 10% of their student body on this basis, which I believe is also mirrored by several accreditors. The program I went through was a B&M HLC accredited institution.

Yes, there programs and probably the majority of them in the English language is in the UK. An example is the one we have talked about - Heriot Watt University Masters can be tested out of. No Bachelors required, 10 exams, boom and you're done (and a lot of money out of your wallet to boot).
Other programs exist in the form of top-ups, many people who do not have a first degree do a Level 7 diploma which usually requires just two years of education and/or work experience after secondary school, this is more flexible and gets you up to speed in the subject - but will take longer. People use these and finish by using a UK top up!
