FEMAS are not in ACE you just transfer them directly from FEMA.
They are quick to and have the forms right on their website. http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/downloads/tranrqst1.pdf
NFA however is on ACE and you can look them up by typing in nfa ..
hope this helps.

I'm sorry for not catching that....but, yes, nj593 is correct, FEMA is not ACE reviewed. It is reviewed by several individual regionally accredited colleges.

Odd, I never experienced that particular issue with cookies, then again, I passed all but two on the first try. Tongue Btw, thanks for all your help Midge! You're an awesome sister. =)

I was just on the ACE transcript site entering some information when I saw the FEMA classes listed under National Emergency Training Center - EMI... some of them are listed as giving UL credit (?) One of them that I have completed is Retrofitting Flood Prone Structures... here's the description with the credits at the bottom.....

Organization: National Emergency Training Center (EMI)
Version 2
Location: Emmitsburg, MD.
Length: 24 hours
Dates: March 2009 – Present
Description: 24 HRS (4 DAYS). Student will be able to identify basic retrofitting methods appropriate for residential structures in flood-prone areas; identify NFIP policy toward retrofitting flood-prone residential structures and the regulations that govern retrofitting projects; evaluate the suitability of retrofitting measure for individual residential structures in terms of technical parameters, homeowner preferences, and Federal, state, and local regulations; conduct detailed benefit/cost analyses and objective analyses of retrofitting alternatives to arrive at technically preferred measure and/or screen out alternative which are not applicable or no permitted; design application of elevation of structures (buildings) on solid perimeter walls or open foundations such as posts, columns, pilings, or piers; design application of small floodwall, small levee, or beam placement to protect individual structures (including the installation of temporary or permanent closure of openings); strengthen foundations, walls, and floors to make them resist flood and flood-related loads; installation of temporary or permanent shields or sealants over exterior elements to make structures watertight; relocation of existing structure outside the floodplain; and make building components, including utilities, structural and non-structural components, and contacts water-damage-resistant during period of internal flooding of the structure.
Objective: To provide engineering and economic guidance to architects, engineers, and local code enforcement officials on retrofitting existing one- to four- family residential structure situated in flood-prone area.
Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to identify basic retrofitting methods appropriate for residential structures in flood-prone areas; identify NFIP policy toward retrofitting flood-prone residential structures and the regulations that govern retrofitting projects; evaluate the suitability of retrofitting measure for individual residential structures in terms of technical parameters, homeowner preferences, and Federal, state, and local regulations; conduct detailed benefit/cost analyses and objective analyses of retrofitting alternative to arrive at technically preferred measure and/or screen out alternatives which are not applicable or not permitted; design application of elevation of structures (buildings) on solid perimeter walls or open foundations such as posts, columns, pilings, or piers; design application of small floodwall, small levee, or beam placement to protect individual structures (including the installations of temporary or permanent shields or sealants over exterior elements to make structures watertight; relocation of existing structures outside the floodplain; and make building components, including utilities, structural and non-structural components, and contents water-damage-resident during period of internal flooding of the structure.
Instruction: Major topics covered in the course are the review of the independent study course (pre-require for course), determination of flood-related hazard, building assessment, design practices, benefit/cost analysis, and case studies. Methods of instruction include lecture, discussion sessions, videotape, team/group work, computer lab, and exercises.
Credit Recommendation: In the upper division baccalaureate degree category, 2 semester hours in Civil Engineering or Emergency Management (12/98) (7/01) (12/04) (3/09)



Anybody with any ideas? Can these courses be transcribed through ACE for more than free elective credits??? Someone with more smarts on this chime in.... have we discovered a gold mine?

APOLOGIES TO ALL of those who may have gotten excited over my previous post... the ACE approved courses are NOT the IS courses but the ON SITE courses....... once again I do apologise!

I don't know that just anyone is allowed to take the on site classes anyway. Payment for the classes has to come out of county grants and has to be requested and approved through the emergency manager of the county. Smile
