Credit definitely not awarded (no TESC course match):
IS005.A
IS302
IS331

Just out of curiosity. Does this mean that for the TESC BS in Human Services specializing in Emergency Disaster Services
Thomas Edison State College - Prospective Students - Undergraduate Programs - Degree Programs - Bachelor of Science in Human Services
you could test out of the FEMA courses to cover the 33 credit specialization, then test out of a handful of the core subjects which seem to be covered with DANTES, ECE, and TESC exams, enroll in TESC and get that degree.
It seems like a very doable 2nd Bachelors if all of that applies.

I don't know about that degree. I'm having the credits transferred over to Excelsior to use for "Applied Professional" credits.

Greggy,
Can I ask how long it took you to complete all of these FEMA courses? Several months? or just weeks?
I may use the FEMA courses for fallback credit if I need them, but don't think at this point that I will need them. Max I would need is about 15.
Any chance you could rate them and show which ones were the easiest/quickest to complete???
