More FEMA lovin'
#1
Finally received my TESC/FEMA transcription after 6 weeks. :mad:

Here's the breakdown and TESC equivalent:

IS001 - EDM101
IS003 - EDM399
IS007 - EDM103
IS008.A - EDM190
IS010 - EDM191
IS011 - EDM192
IS015.A - EDM223
IS111 - EDM193
IS120 - EDM120
IS139 - EDM203
IS208 - EDM126
IS230 - EDM107
IS235 - EDM224
IS240 - EDM207
IS241 - EDM208
IS242 - EDM209
IS244 - EDM210
IS271 - EDM242
IS275 - EDM124
IS288 - EDM122
IS292 - EDM200
IS301 - EDM172
IS324 - EDM121
IS346 - EDM155
IS386 - EDM232
IS-393.A - EDM140
IS513 - EDM303

Credit not awarded (I think by mistake because there is a TESC course to match):
IS279 - EDM130 (I contacted TESC this morning to have credit issued)


Credit definitely not awarded (no TESC course match):
IS005.A
IS302
IS331
IS394.A
IS546


27 credits awarded, hopefully 28 once TESC corrects their error.

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.

Today I received my TESC/FEMA transcription after 4 weeks. 31 credits. EC should receive this week . TESC is the last transcript to EC, so EC should complete my unoffical eval in 2 weeks.

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??? Smile
