List of TESC accepted FEMA courses

I was on the phone with TESC today to ask some questions about opening a credit bank and the girl asked if I was aware of FEMA credits long story short she sent me a list of currently accepted isp courses. I know this is on the forum somewhere by the fema master Michael Gates, but this is a pretty nice chart with TESC equivalent and how they are transcribed. If a moderator feels this is not needed by all means delete, I was sent the chart in .rtf format if someone knows how to convert or wants the email and can do it let me know.(Iam computer retarded)

Thanks for posting this. Looks like some things have changed, so I have to adjust the list on my website again.

ETA: Okay, wait. I just can't read. Heh. I was thinking a few courses were gone, but that's because they were listed on the same line as another course. D'oh!

 

Lol, sorry bout that like I said if I can turn the computer on and check my emails, technology wise it's a good day for me, haha. But if I could change the format of the document I was sent so I could post it. It's a well organized list of the exams even to just print out and keep on the desk, any tech savvy folks know what Iam talking about I'll gladly add the list as an atachment.

 

No worries. I just copied and pasted it into a file and added line-breaks between the courses myself. And thanks again; it is a good list to have.

 

Thomas Edison needs to look at the FEMA IS courses again, as many of the FEMA Independent Study courses on their list have been discontinued or revised. There are also many new courses that have come along since TESC put their list out. There have been over 150 courses since FEMA started the IS program.

From the looks of it maybe you should send them an email.

 

where would Fema course apply to curriculum? electives?

 

Electives. Anything more would depend on the degree program you are enrolled in, the college you are attending, and whether they accept FEMA credits at all. TESC will most likely be electives unless you are in an emergency management degree program.

 

Oh my goodness, Gates lives!
