Ask in the BOG thread

If they take TECEPs, then $500 total, or if he's in a state with very cheap cc's. Or if he can get financial aid, maybe nothing.

Bleh. This sure would help me for a position later this year. That dang 2nd CJ/Fire/Security course, though.
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.

No, they do not have to be graded. Which is why I'm pretty sure 3 TECEPs and 1 Uexcel (to give a GPA) would cover the requirements (see the spreadsheet in my sig).

Any updates on this? Has anyone received the cert more recently? I just took all the required fema courses for fun. I still never found a second fire or police course but hoping my tesu BA, intro to criminal justice, paramedic certs, and fema IS courses will suffice.

Not me. I gave up on the other CJ/fire course.

I didn't bother. It's neat and all but after receiving the requirements back I decided it wasn't worth it. I've got 7 years of EM experience in the field that can be verified with employers. That's good enough for me.
1. Prep Phase: Hopeless, 15 credits, need a BA fast, never heard of TESU
2. TESU BALS: 121/120 (9 months)
3. RN Paramedic Bridge - Excelsior (9 months + CPNE wait)
4. WGU RN -> BSN
5. BSN -> MSN/FNP

I sent all the requirements that was required last October and have sent reminder emails, and haven't heard anything back in like 6 months. I think its a dead issue!!
