If he's going to be testing out/taking ACE-approved inexpensive courses as well as taking course at NECB, he may be just fine with tuition reimbursement. Ask if they'll pay for exams as well as online courses that are ACE-approved, show them that TESC will accept the courses and they will be saving a lot of money this way (win-win).
If he wanted to make sure that the courses were pre-approved by TESC, then he'll need to apply. Good news, he can enroll under the per-credit option, and there is no fee, just a 24-unit residency requirement to graduate. He just has to plan 8 TECEP's into his courses at $111 each, and that gives him his residency plus the some hard-to-find UL coursework.
He also definitely needs to have his transcripts from England, they may or may not transfer, but hopefully that will clear up a lot of his general ed courses. Don't discount that overseas degree!!
As for his NECB courses being ACE-approved, most schools are not ACE-approved because they don't need to go through that process. It is very easy to transfer units between U.S. colleges - especially if the college you're transferring from is regionally accredited (which NECB is). Schools like Penn Foster, which are nationally accredited, may apply through ACE to get specific courses ACE-approved because of the difficulty of transferring their courses to RA schools. That's the only way you would see actual college courses on ACE (most likely anyway).
So skip ACE (unless you have other ACE-approved courses), apply to TESC, and send in his transcripts from NECB and England, and then see where he sits. He may be a lot further along than he thinks he is. While the app and eval are in process, have him come here and do some research on how this works - he will begin to see a path, and can figure out the best way to get the courses he needs, and using his tuition reimbursement. He could easily get a BSBA in General Management for less than $5000 using the methods we talk about here on this forum.
Once he gets his eval, he can post it on here and we will help him plan the rest out.
