	Nursing Degrees Nursing Degrees Registered nurses (RNs), regardless of specialty or work setting, treat patients, educate patients and the public about various medical conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients' family members. RNs record patients' medical histories and symptoms, help perform diagnostic tests and analyze results, operate medical machinery, administer treatment and medications, and help with patient follow-up and rehabilitation. •Registered nurses constitute the largest healthcare occupation, with 2.6 million jobs. •The three typical educational paths to registered nursing are a bachelor's degree, an associate degree, and a diploma from an approved nursing program; advanced practice nurses — clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners — need a master’s degree. •Job opportunities are expected to be excellent, but may vary by employment and geographic setting; some employers report difficulty in attracting and retaining an adequate number of RNs. Click Here to find FREE information on schools offering this course of study.

	Engineering Degrees Engineering Degrees Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many engineers develop new products. During the process, they consider several factors. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine the causes of a component’s failure, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost required to complete projects. •Starting salaries are among the highest of all college graduates. •Employment is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, although growth will vary by specialty; overall job opportunities for engineers are expected to be good. •A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for most entry-level jobs, but some positions may require a graduate degree.

I have about 30 FEMS IS courses and 2 or 3 NFA Q courses banked at TESC. Have you actually banked all of these to conform TESC's acceptance?

I have not taken any yet, but I will take them all if they will actually be worth credit!

Anyone know which ones count at TESC??

The first list below was posted by Michael Gates on another thread. He successfully transferred all of the below to TESC. Some of these have since been discontinued by FEMA, but I was able to successfully translate about 28of these or so. The EDM numbers are TESC's equivalencies; the IS numbers are FEMA:

EDM 101 - IS001
EDM 102 - IS002
EDM 103 - IS007
EDM 107 - IS230
EDM 120 - IS120

The second list are FEMA courses that are currently offered by FEMA that I believe would be accepted by TESC. I base this on the fact that FCC (Frederick Community College) has these courses in its school catalog with corresponding EDM matches. I will be sending these off to TESC in the next few weeks and will update this thread at that time as to their acceptance:

IS-253 Coordinating Environment & Historis Perservation Compliance

IS-271 Anticipating Hazardous Weather & Community Risk

IS-302 Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training

So taking them all may be the best option as we do not really know what they will take in the end?

My wife has finished 6 of them in the last 2 days. I am going to start taking them soon!

I wouldn't just arbitrarily go through the FEMA site and take every course you can find. That might be a big waste of time. I'd take as many on the first list as you can, then go to the second list. That will give you a ton of credits, probably more than any school will actually accept as part of a degree program. What are you planning to do with these credits? Are you planning to transfer them into a degree at TESC? If so, what type of degree?

I am a couple quarters away from finishing an NA bachelors, For the masters program I need I would need an RA bachelors. Was looking at that Canadian College that has a 3 year bachelors, but was not sure that would work for the University College @ University of Denver online, so I saw all the info on TEST taking FEMA classes and with all my other credits, It may be a good opportunity to get an RA bachelors. I do not mind going through the fema courses over a 4 to 6 week period and finishing them all. This will ensure I have enough credits for a bachelors.

I currently have the following credits. I just wanted to do all of the FEMA courses to ensure that I have an abundance of credit towards just finishing a bachelors degree.... And they are free anyways!!

	Paralegals and Legal Assistants Paralegal and Legal Assistant Degrees One of a paralegal's most important tasks is helping lawyers prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Paralegals might investigate the facts of cases and ensure that all relevant information is considered. They also identify appropriate laws, judicial decisions, legal articles, and other materials that are relevant to assigned cases. After they analyze and organize the information, paralegals may prepare written reports that attorneys use in determining how cases should be handled. If attorneys decide to file lawsuits on behalf of clients, paralegals may help prepare the legal arguments, draft pleadings and motions to be filed with the court, obtain affidavits, and assist attorneys during trials. Paralegals also organize and track files of all important case documents and make them available and easily accessible to attorneys. •Job opportunities are projected to be better-than-average with strong employment growth; however, competition for jobs is expected. •Formally trained, experienced paralegals should have the best employment opportunities. •Most entrants have an associate’s degree in paralegal studies, or a bachelor's degree in another field and a certificate in paralegal studies.

	Psychology Degrees Psychology Degrees Psychologists study mental processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people and animals relate to one another and the environment. To do this, psychologists often look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behavior using scientific methods, principles, or procedures to test their ideas. Through such research studies, psychologists have learned much that can help increase understanding between individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, nations, and cultures. •Job opportunities are naturally best for individuals with higher degrees. Individuals with a doctoral degree are highly sought after, especially ones who holds degrees in a particularly in-demand subfield, such as health; those with a master’s degree will have good prospects in the corporate environment; bachelor’s degree holders will have limited prospects due to steep competition. •Employment growth will vary by specialty; for example, clinical, counseling, and school psychologists will have 11% growth; industrial-organizational psychologists will have 26% growth; and 14% growth is expected for all other fields of psychology.

Sorry, thought that was a list from 2006 which was outdated.

The Fema site says every year, they submit new classes to ACE for credit review. So I was thinking it was 2 years out of date considering all of the retired courses etc.

Did not know if someone had a current list that was more relevant to what is available on the FEMA site.

What credit do they carry?

I really like the FEMA courses. I've yet to find a school besides TESC where I can transfer them, but the information you pick up from them is well worth it. Plus, it looks REALLY good on a resume. I do a bit of contract work and I was looking for a new position and submitted my updated resume to the agency I belong to, with these listed. The HR Rep at the agency told me they'd never seen so many offers come through for me before the update.

I guess perhaps some employers may view people who study Homeland Security as being more socially responsible than the norm? At least that's the impression I've been getting from it. Of course, it could just be that the training stands out because they don't see a ton of applicants coming through with it. Either way, I'm certainly not complaining.

I have not gone through that 1st list to cross off the courses that are no longer offered, but I've taken and successfully transferred every course on the 1st list that is still being offered. I've done this in the last 90 days so the info is very current.

As for the second list, I am extremely confident that TESC would accept everyting on it because I pulled those courses from the FCC catalog.

I am in the process of enrolling in the BA program at Bellevue ...they are accepting all of the FEMA credits that are reflected on my TESC transcript. I have no idea if they'd accept them without going through TESC though.
