You don't need to register anything until you actually take a test. You just go to this web site:
http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/crslist.asp
On that page, they have the study materials, the link to take the test online, etc. Everything you need is there. All you do is download the study material, which includes the questions for the final exam. I went through and answered all of the questions in paper on the final exam, then went to the link where you actually take the exam. The questions for the final exam are not there. They just have the boxes where you enter the answers. You enter the answers, enter your information (SS number, address, etc.) and submit it. In about 24 hours, you receive a "congratulations, you passed" email. Then, in about a week, you get the actual certificate.
After I had taken the four I needed, on FEMA's site, I had them send my transcript to TESC.
One thing to note I did not need to have my FEMA credits go through Frederick Community College. I had FEMA send my transcript directly to Thomas Edison State College and they took the credits. Straight from FEMA. No community college middle man needed. I.e., no $60 per credit hour.

I'm an engineer. Go figure.
