    I'm not sure what you are asking here. One call to TESC would answer all your questions.

    It appears that Fredrick Community College is regionally accredited by the MSACS. According to their website, to apply your FEMA credits, you pay $77 per unit to the school and Fredrick Community College grants you RA units. Then you take those units to TESC and they will evaluate them for transfer. TESC is fairly liberal in this area, so your chances are good. I would speak with the registrar at TESC before I tried this, if I were you.

    My question is this: Does TESC accept FEMA credits directly without the laundering through a CC? I don't know, somebody fill me in.

    Tesc takes them raw from fema,no need for fcc, they count as elective. I believe you are capped at 27 though

    I wonder if laundering FEMA credits through a CC would increase the number above 27.

    I doubt it surf, TESC lets one utilize these as elective credit for most degree's, and in the Homeland Security track, but they are somewhat specific within those areas. Beauty of TESC is that they accept the credit direct from FEMA without any additional cost.

    Clackamus CC has a degree/certificate track that works for folks in some states.

    Red Rocks CC in Colorado will allow the use of some FEMA (15 I think), but you have to take an equal number of courses from RR's

    Guam CC has a very interesting Cert/Degree program....but you have to do portions on the island of Guam :)

    I would be leery of the Frederick CC program due to cost....make CERTAIN that the school you want to transfer the credit to will accept it and allow its use as you need. There are cheaper ways to earn LL elective credit. Not knocking the FCC offering, just really need to know how to apply it at that price. EC and COSC will both allow the FCC credits to be used....but man that's a high cost for what your getting......appropriate for some folks though.

    Here is a link to the Clackamus offering, note it requires specific advanced in class emergency management training and is specific to 5 states and the Coast Guard Emergency Management

    Guam CC has a cool offering, alas one must go to Guam and take several classes (CERT, First Aid, etc...) http://hiresteve.com/misc/guamflyer.pdf The other class requirements could be done online through GCC.

    Red Rocks is the most universally accessible, but will require a good bit to be done at RR. For a Colorado resident this might be a better deal than TESC for an AS in Emergency Management or just a certificate in EM. Red Rocks Community College :: Emergency Management & Planning

    bottom line, you are taking free courses that are accepted and transcribed for free, and paying a middle man $3500.

    Doing that doesn't make a lot of sense when you think of it that way.

    The local CC wouldn't allow 2 credits from FEMA via Frederick as elective for my daughter. They refused to allow it to be used in an "arts" degree (AA) as they said they were technical credits..... you have to be careful when you use these :)
