TEEX Cybersecruity

[AwardTour]

So TEEX was going to expire back in February and it was extended to the end of this month (May 31st)? Unfortunately my internet access and free time is limited until I return to the USA in a few weeks. I might have 6 or 7 days before May 31st to hopefully get all 3 courses done. 

I know the good advice is to assume nothing other than that it might not continue and to get credits ASAP. The fact that it could have possibly ended in Feb and got extended for another 2 months means something is up right? They don't typically review/re-up their ACE status every 2 months right?

I know this stuff is hard to predict but what does everyone's gut feeling say? Game over for TEEX at the end of this month or yet another short term extension???

An extension is typically granted by ACE when an organization is in process of renewing its ACE credit recommendation. Usually is done to give ACE time to review the course material again to confirm or adjust their credit recommendation. So this usually means they intend to renew it. It isn't a guarantee, but from what I recall, someone here had an email conversation with the TEEX folks a few months back where they indicated they were in process of renewal.

So, while I'd still recommend trying to get it done as soon as you get back to be safe, you have a pretty good chance that it will be either renewed or extended again.

I think that it ends, disappears for four months and then reappears miraculously when no one is expecting it.

Thanks for your insight Merlin.

Even if you can only get the first one Cyber101 done, my advice is to try and grab it. You never know about these govt-grant-funded projects, and though TEEX has been around a while, it's impossible to know what the future holds.
