The FEMA credits in and of themself are not worth anything (you can't apply them towards a degree in their raw form). However, Frederick Community College will, for a fee, take those otherwise useless FEMA credits and put them on their own transcript. By doing this, they validate the credits as if you took the courses at FCC. Additionally, because FCC is regionally accredited, those FEMA credits can then be applied towards a regionally accredited degree elsewhere.
The reason everyone mentions FCC in particular is that it is one of the only regionally accredited schools that is willing to fulfill this necessary transcripting process for the FEMA credits.
Hope that helps,
