Well...
I look at it this way. No one can say that everyone that applies for it gets it. That's a stronger endorsement than many programs I've been involved with.... hilarious
I'll get what he wants and hopefully resubmit before it disappears (I know NOTHING, just saying nothing is forever)

Most people in emergency management know what FEMA independent study is and assign a value correspondingly. On the other hand, the other certification is a diamond in the rough. I would see them weighing that credential more heavily, because it comes from a college.
I'm not certain what 'certificates' (as in, certificate in homeland security / em / etc) valuate at in the market right now. I've asked on here. I know they can't hurt, though. I intend to collect a few in my price range in case they are valuable at some point. (shrugs). None of this stuff beats having a relative in HR though, so it's all kinda relative.
