=== Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses ===
Start with Sophia, do English Composition first.  Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so after you start English Comp, do a course that doesn't have any touchstones (written assignments).  Once done with Sophia, start doing Study.com courses starting with non CS courses. Once those are completed do Java/Intro programming first, then Data Structures last since Data Structures has an assignment in Java.
Start with CLEP, then Sophia.  Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time so don't have 2 courses that have touchstones (written assignments) open at the same time.  Once done with Sophia, start doing Study.com courses. Last knock out the PHP Certificate. (should be anywhere from 1-4 weeks)
