COSC follows the Frederich CC credit recommendation....so anything listed on the FEMA site that indicates "college credit" should transfer without a problem. You can judge this by the last row here:

MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010
I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

TEEX - no problem
FEMA EMI - big problem - must be American citizen

The FAQ states:
http://training.fema.gov/is/isfaq.aspx
"Who can take FEMA’s Independent Study Courses? Who can teach Independent Study Courses?
The primary audience for the Independent Study Program is first responders, EMS personnel and US citizens. The Independent Study Program has no requirements for instructors to teach our courses; however, we do suggest the instructor is familiar with the course materials before teaching the course. Reviewing the material, taking and passing the exam online and reviewing any classroom materials provided are suggested ways to familiarize yourself with the material. All exams must be submitted online at
http://training.fema.gov/IS "
So it doesn't state that it has to be a US citizen, just that the IS courses are primarily targeted for US citizens, so anyone can take them. They don't ask for a SS number and results are electronically sent to ACE so I don't think it will matter. I just created an account to see, they do ask for a physical address, but you can probably use a dummy one or a friend's if you care about that (not that it should really matter).

I didn't answer because I didn't know if you had to be an American citizen, however, TEEX is part of FEMA or at least funded through a FEMA grant, so would that matter?
