If these are free and online I might try and tackle them this weekend. Worst case I waste my time if for some reason I end up not needing them but if there free I would like to go ahead and start making some progress ASAP if I'm going to pull this degree off in 12 months.
I found this link from TESC in another thread but I'm kind of lost as to where to go to start and what exactly to take.

Here is the FEMA website but help, where to I go next?
National Preparedness Directorate National Training and Education Portal
This all seems like it's clear to the rest of you but I've been hit with a lot of information over the past couple days and I'm still trying to get and handle on things. I appreciate the help from everyone!
Print out the list of TESC-approved courses in that pdf, then go here: https://training.fema.gov/IS/ceus.aspx
Match the IS number exactly to the course listed on FEMA's Emergency Management Institute. If looking at a BSBA, take a look at the Professional Development Series (on the FEMA EMI site, it's one of the links on the right in the header). Most, if not all of those courses are credit-worthy (or were when I did them about this time last year), and when you complete all of that series, you get a spiffy little certificate you can list seperately on your resume.
Once you pick the course(s) you want, click the specific course descrption, and off to the right is a "Take This Course" link that'll take you to either a pdf book, or an interactive website. Go through the material until you're cozy with it. Then click the "Take the Final Exam Online" link, and take the exam. You'll get your results within 24-hours (usually a few minutes later but seems to randomly take longer), but as soon as you finish one, move on to the next without waiting. On the off chance you fail one, go back through the material and take the final again; you can take it as often as you need. Once you've got 6+ credit-worthy FEMA courses that TESC's sheet acknowledges are at least a credit each, go back to the FEMA EMI main page and off to the right is a link to request a transcript. Do that, and have it sent to TESC, and your free electives will be done!
