Yes, you do. To get credit for each of the 3 courses (and earn 6 cr) you need to complete 10 different sub-courses. Yes, you have to register for each of those courses individually as well.
From the perspective of needing several sub-courses to earn credit for a specific course, it is a terrible design. However, most of their courses appear to be standalone, so the website is geared toward providing those individual courses. The cyber courses are more involved and require multiple sub-courses to provide all the relevant material (and be college creditworthy).

Never mind. This is ridiculous. I just went through the pre-test and literally selected "A" for every question and scored a 16. It still hasn't brought me to the material. There has to be a better option.
The pre-test is there to gauge your pre-knowledge of the material, as the target demographic for these tests are people who are working for emergency services or are already working in IT and should have some exposure to the material as well. It doesn't matter what you get on the pre-tests but it can be handy for reference when you're taking the actual tests since the questions are drawn from the same pool.
It took me a few weeks to complete all the courses, but I didn't do them all at once.
