Needing 1 Business Credit - tsimmns - 08-19-2016
As the title states, I'm short 1 credit in my business electives from my Business Law class being only 2 credits when I took it. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any free business classes that are ACE approved. I can always go take the Intro to Business CLEP I guess since it's free for me, but it would be great to knock it out using something like the CPCU Ethics course. This might be a long shot, but I figured if anyone knew the answer it would be the fine folks on this forum.

Pretty sure I have answered my own question when remembering the TEEX classes transfer in as CAP which would fit perfect in the Business electives area.

Great minds!

If you haven't taken the 3 free NFA courses, I think one of them are transferred in as a business course, 1 credit exactly.

Not sure what the NFA courses are or where to begin with them. Appears I might need to do some searching on here.

National Fire Academy
The National Emergency Training Center/National Fire Academy (NFA) offers three free courses that are ACE-recommended for 1 credit each.
Q118 Self-Study Course for Community Safey Educators (1 credit) - free elective
Q318 Fire Service Supervision: Self Study (1 credit) - free elective
Q137 Hydraulic Calculations for Water-Based Fire Protection Systems Plan Review (1 credit) - free elective

(I think it was dfrecore who told me once that one of them comes in as HRM, but i dont know which one. I'd assume Q318, but confirm that first. I know Q118, the only one I needed, did not comes in as HRM -- I just needed any free elective)

Q0318 is Fire Service Supervision comes in as HRM-331 (duplicate of Human Resource Management, so only good if you don't already have that as a course).
Intro to Business is also available as a Saylor course, so only $25.
I'm not sure if the TEEX courses come in as business electives or not - my notes say that Cybersecurity for Everyone (CAP-295) and Cybersecurity for IT Professionals (CAP-385) come in as Free Electives, and Cybersecurity for Business Professionals (CIS-244) can be used as a Gen Ed. So I would probably check with TESU to see what they will do with each course before you take them.

I took the intro to business clep a while back, and since you have a business degree basically completed, I that would be the quickest and easiest way to get the credit. The exam should be easy for you and you don't even have to send in a transcript as college board will send the score straight to TESU at no cost to you. Win/Win.

Thanks Prloko. I might take the Business CLEP Tuesday at base testing. I already have the HRM - 331 so that would duplicate. I just hate test, it's like I get test anxiety...
