I have never taken a FEMA course before, and I only need three. I'm just wondering if anyone remembers taking any that were particularly easy/fast. I'm enrolled at TESC, using these for free electives.

I recommend taking any three of the following courses; they are part of the FEMA PDS Series (managerial bend), only 25 questions each and if you download the course guide the search function is your friend.
IS-230a Fundamentals of Emergency Management (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-107
IS-235 Emergency Planning (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-224
IS-240 Leadership and Influence (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-207
IS-241 Decision Making and Problem Solving (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-208
IS-242 Effective Communication (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-209
IS-244 Developing and Managing Volunteers (25 QUESTIONS)
EDM-210

Is there any way that I can know if all of those are accepted by TESC without calling/emailing them? I will if I have to, but I'd rather not wait until Monday for someone to answer.

Yes, they are all accepted. I am also a TESC student and they are sitting on my transcript.

TESC accepts a maximum of 25 FEMA credits, but they have more than 25 to choose from. The list TESC gave me (which I beleive is the exact same as the one posted) included some that no longer exist, so there are actually less options than it looks like. I did 21 and couple only had 15 questions . . . sorry I don't remember which ones.

This is probably a silly question but does the course number having a ".a" at the end mean anything? Perhaps it's just an updated course?
For example...in just browsing the FEMA site some courses such as IS-5.a and IS-8.a exist. Are those the same as IS-5 and IS-8 in that they would be accepted?

I don't know what the .a stands for, but they are the same and tesc accepted them.
