The 4 TEEX Sports courses are OK and I took them all. They are NOT ACE colleges credits when I took them. Look at ACE website for each course "IF" that is the only reason you are taking a TEEX F2F course. Most are NOT.
That being said I did receive an email today that I am now receiving The National Sport Safety and Security Professional Development Certificate
from the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4), Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service’s National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (TEEX/NERRTC).
This is new and 100% unexpected.
Hey!! That's awesome, congratulations!! I did look and found that the sports ones weren't for college credit, but I was excited to see something - if it wasn't hubby's graduation week, I would probably sign up and do it just for sh*ts and giggles. Glad you liked them. Were they mostly police? The description on my local class days it's targeted toward police officers.
Really depends on the course. The 4 TEEX Sports courses that I went too were hosted at a major university. They are semi geared to Div I sports, but it APPLY to ALL sports events (private, gov., CC, etc). In my classes were 1/3 college EM types; 1/3 police/campus security types; a couple of professors; and one-third OTHER (like me). I had a Big 10, PAC12, and Dallas Cowboys instructors; along with TEEX instructors. In NC with all your big Universes, I bet they have done these in the past. My guess is they will again in the future.
You get a Certificate from Texas A&M (TEEX is a branch) for each course. In the sports side University of Southern Mississippi (USM) is apart of the mix.
