No.
TESU does not do what you're asking. What you're asking is if PF's program transfers as an entire block of "2 years" worth of credit toward a bachelor's degree. TESU does not accept a 2 year block of credit from any college, but even if they did, the issue you'll run into is that PF is not regionally accredited. At PF, you can only choose classes that have ACE evaluation.
The best "payment plan" is to test and pay as you go. I paid for my ENTIRE associates degree using coins in a jar. Save the coins, take a test. Literally. My budget to earn a degree with 4 small kids at the time was ZERO dollars. So, I'd use free discarded books from the college's "free" pile, online resources, and instantcert. I'd sell something on Craigslist, ebay, yard sales, etc., and put left over grocery coins in a jar. CLEP at the time was the only option really, but now there is Saylor, which is a better price at only $25 per 3 credits. I can help you with ideas for cost, but at the end of the day the WORK you put in and the TIME it takes to earn a non-transferable and non-regionally accredited degree will be EXACTLY the same as if you earned it from a fully transferable regionally accredited school. Start at TESU and finish there.
