FEMA Question?
#1
I've decided to finish my Bachelors from TESC and plan on using FEMA courses as general electives. Is it possible to do one course a night or are they a little more involved than that. I would love to do five per week or is that a little too much? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I am assuming you meant free electives? If not, is this an emergency management degree?

My goal was to complete 18 within a week, so I did 3-4 a day with no problem.

Which classes can I take online that ACE issues credit for? I can't seem to find any that match.

FEMA courses are not ACE approved, but TESC accepts them for credit. (page 202 of college catalog).

They aren't that difficult. I was able to bang out the entire PDS series (7 courses) in one night so one a night should be no sweat.

I did 11 in one day. ... and that was with having to retake a couple of them several times (might I suggest avoiding the radiology-related ones if possible). Of course it wasn't until the last 2-3 that common sense kicked in: Start with the ones labelled "Introduction to" or "Introductory"! You'd think after doing essentially that with CLEPs and DSSTs, I would've thought to do it with FEMAs. :p
