Life Long Learning Wrote:My FEMA resident courses are approved by the community college like my other CBA and CPL credits were by work done at OTHER places. Same difference! Both learning! The Emergency Management EM courses at the community college are 100% Regional accredited and resident. I have just transferred them to Excelsior and to a few other West Coast community colleges.It's not the same because those other courses you took went through an evaluation process by test or PLA. You had to prove college-level learning. The knowledge you acquired from the FEMA courses was not evaluated in this manner. They simply just converted them to college credit. You can use knowledge obtained from FEMA courses and other studies and experiences to complete PLAs at TESU. However, the courses, alone, are not at the college level, in TESU's opinion. TEEX courses, NFA courses, the Kaplan course, and that insurance course is free. TESU accepts free courses. Saylor courses are also free; you just need to pay the proctor fee. People pay a lot of money to convert FEMA courses to college credits at FCC, and TESU still won't accept them. So, it has nothing to do with cost.
I think TESC's beef is that there are a ton of the IS courses and they are FREE.
