Gotcha, they had a whole bunch listed on the ACE website, that's why I was wondering. They must be mostly in-person classes.
Just did the medical specialist portion of the fema search and rescue courses. Plan to do some more through teex...mostly for fun.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

Working my way through the 2nd module of the Cyber 101 course. It's painful.
Where do these credits apply in a TESU BSBA? Because I already have Personal Finance in one of my free elective spot, is this even worth doing?

Can anyone tell me which one of the cybersecurity courses counts for credit?
https://teex.org/Pages/Program.aspx?catI...ersecurity
There are three levels - 101, 201 & 301. Do they *all* count for credit? And, if I take all of them, how many elective credits will I get?

Find a long weekend and finish all three for free. Take the exam with the course open in another browser.
They give you 2 credits each, total of 6. That's all the free electives you need for the BSBA.
If you're going for a BALS or another degree, they will fit in the free electives of that degree as well...
Just one word of advice, blast past each pretest, it's a time waster... focus on the exam itself.
If you're starting from using CLEP/DSST, you may want to check out the FREE credits list and get them done anyways.
These are useful for your degree as the Ethics course is one, the NFA and Sophia course come in as HRM, etc.

I'm working on my BA in Biology... I assume that these will fit into my free electives under the general education requirements, correct? (I can't pass up free credit!)

I'm not sure, but TESU gives people different credit sometimes, or changes their policy sometimes. So it's hard to know for sure. If they did duplicate or fail to give you credit, you can appeal.

That's incorrect, for the BA in Biology, you have no FREE Electives, that means, don't take anything outside the course catalog. General Education Electives are different than Free Electives.
Most BA degrees from TESU range from 21-27 FREE Electives, unfortunately, BA Biology seems to be an exception, there are no free electives. Oh wells, take any cheapo CLEP/DSST or Davar/Saylor exam.
Difference: Free elective - anything accepted for credit (no FEMA). Gen Ed Elective - Thomas Edison State University | General Education - 2016 or After
Please review their BA's - Bachelor's Degree Programs at Thomas Edison State University , compare their programs and you can see the different amount of Free Electives in each program.

Ok... Maybe I'm misunderstanding. On the Biology degree plan, it looks like I get 17-20 General Education Electives (General Education Requirements/ Section E). These electives are listed separately from the Biology electives (UL). It was my assumption that these electives could be literally anything - including those 6 free credits for the Cybersecurity course. Am I understanding this correctly? Thanks for the help!

No, gen ed electives need to be credits that would fit into other general ed categories, unfortunately.
