• ASU EA CIS 194 1cr (cause it's RA graded 1 cr and I think it sounds easy)
  
• Google Project Management Cert (hes heard of it, relevant knowledge/skills and the fact you get certificate that could look good on resume)
  
• Google Digital Marketing Cert (same reason as project man cert)
  
• CSM Course (or whatever it is called now) (because I did this course and it is amazing! I don't care if it only transfers as elective. I love this course everyone should take it.)
  
• The rest all Sophia (because it seems the most easy/cost effective/convenient/ and I did Sophia and liked it)
  
• Final courses at UMPI
  

• Make a plan. Can you tell me which specific Sophia courses to do?
  
• Which courses to do at UMPI and in which order?
  
• Which Sophia courses are for Pierpont and which ones are for UMPI? It is quite possible my friend might take few month break after aas and come back later for bachelors. or even just stop after aas for now. not sure though.
  
• Can you make a plan step by step for like when to apply for peirpont, credly, umpi, etc. The only thing I know is think I'd want my friend to ASU first (because RA and he at least knows what RA is) then CSM (cause super easy and fun), then Google, then leaving only Sophia for last and do it all at once. And do the Sophia needed for Pierpont first then do the Sophia needed for UMPI. I don't know the order to apply for things and the timeline because I think it could take months with waiting on Peirpont, UMPI, etc. And I've never used Credly only the old system. Break it down into simple steps for me with all the accounts need to create and things to apply for in order in the most efficient order. We are both the kind of people who like things broken down into simple actionable steps.
  
• Would it possible to go from zero to both degrees in hand in seven months? And if so how difficult would that be?
  
• Any other tips, opinions, etc.

Pierpont def takes some time to sort things out.  The next grad date is May 12th so it's more than likely you'd have to wait until the next date after that.

If you go through the American Dream Academy to do Coursera courses I found the easiest ones were:

Google IT Professional Support Certificate – 12cr
Google Data Analytics Certificate - 12cr
Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Certificate - 9cr
IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate - 10cr

Project management and Google UX have capstone and different projects you must complete.
The Meta Social Marketing also has some projects which is a lot for only 1 crt., and the Salesforce one is a lot of work through trailhead for only 1 credit, which wasn't worth it unless you absolutely need it.  The rest on Coursera are mostly trials and not fully included.

CSM is a great course for 3 crts, as well as CIS 194 (Bus Tech Fund) from ASU which is only 1 crt as well but it gives you a GPA grade of 4.0 which is required by Pierpont.
