This is the same place that people are taking classes and getting credit for? I didnt know they offered anything like that. I didn't think that was the same thing people were reffering to.
Yep...this is the place. The exact link to the Emergency Management Institute is below. http://training.fema.gov/IS/crslist.asp
I was just reading on their site and I dont see anything that pretains to what they charge for this. Would you or anyone else know what that would be? Sorry for asking so many questions. Thanks Todd
According to their web site, "All [courses] are offered free-of-charge to those who qualify for enrollment." Click on "How to Apply" to see what you need to do in order to enroll.
You can use up to 27 credit hours of free fema courses to meet your Free elective needs through Thomas Edison State College (TESC). This is what my wife did, took her 2 to 3 weeks. Using these, you can use many of them towards an associates in Electronics Engineering Technology with TESC. ASAST in Electronics Engineering Technology The Associate in Science in Applied Science and Technology (ASAST) degree in Electronics Engineering Technology is designed for individuals employed in various phases of the electronics industry, such as computer hardware, avionics, communications, etc. Required courses include DC Circuits, AC Circuits, Digital Electronics, Electronic Devices, Communications Electronics and Microprocessors. Corollary requirements are Precalculus Algebra and Calculus I, Physics I and II, and Computer Programming. The degree is a 60-credit program. Subject Area/Category Credits I. General Education Requirements 30 A. English Composition 6 B. Humanities 6 C. Social Sciences 6 D. Natural Sciences and Mathematics 12 Intermediate and pre-calculus mathematics or above* (6) General physics or general chemistry (6) II. Area of Study: Electrical Technology 21 A.

This list was taken from another thread elsewhere on the board: The first list below was posted by Michael Gates on another thread. He successfully transferred all of them to TESC. Some of these have since been discontinued by FEMA, but I was able to successfully transfer about 28 or so. Any still offered by FEMA will be accepted, just check the FEMA site. 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 EDM 121 - IS324 EDM 122 - IS288 EDM 123 - IS195 EDM 124 - IS275 EDM 126 - IS208 EDM 130 - IS279 EDM 140 - IS393 EDM 154 - IS005 EDM 155 - IS346 EDM 172 - IS301 EDM 190 - IS008 EDM 191 - IS010 EDM 192 - IS011 EDM 193 - IS111 EDM 200 - IS292 EDM 203 - IS139 EDM 207 - IS240 EDM 208 - IS241 EDM 209 - IS242 EDM 210 - IS244 EDM 221 - IS630 EDM 222 - IS600 EDM 223 - IS015 EDM 224 - IS235 EDM 225 - IS631 EDM 232 - IS386 EDM 240 - IS009 EDM 241 - IS394 EDM 242 - IS271 EDM 290 - IS632 EDM 303 - IS513 EDM 390 - Q534 EDM 399 - IS003 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.
