You have two options for doing a PLA.
Option 1: At TESU, PLA 100 is not required, but PLA 200 is - cost is 2 credits, plus the cost of submitting a PLA (up to 12 credits in one porfolio for the same cost). Here are the costs - and it depends if you are a TESU student or not. Assuming you are a TESU student, it is the cost of the 2 credit course, plus $399 for 12 credits: https://www.tesu.edu/tuition/pla-tuition.cfm
Option 2: Learningcounts.org allows you to take a self-directed PLA 100-200 course for $149, and then you submit a portfolio for $175. However, you can only do one three credit course per $175. So it can add up, if you do alot of credits. These credits are then transferable to TESU via NCCRS. I did this option for Aviation Weather, as I needed only that one course for my Aviation degree at TESU, and I didn't want to take the PLA 200 course. The total cost to me was $350, which included the cost to get the transcript to TESU. However, I am not sure if this option still works, because I couldn't find the individual version of learningcounts anymore. Seems they want you to do it through a college
