Yes ALEKS. I must have found Alison a while back and confused the two.

It won't really matter how the student learns as long as they grasp the concepts. If you wanted, I really suggest hitting the ACE options so they get college credit as well, so I would suggest either CLEP/MS or Sophia.org depending on your budget, commitments, time, etc.
Edit to Add: You should review this thread, start with Dual Enrollment with a community college, take CLEP/AP and ACE/NCCRS options if you feel fit with those choices: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...d-with-ACE
No, we aren't there yet. He's no longer homeschooled. I just wanted to help him access some basic intro engineering and construction courses online, just to build foundational knowledge. Then we'll move into Sophia and SDC, if he wants to knock a few years off university, and maybe use those years to finish BS and obtain a Master's.
