Most of the MOOC (free) courses are CS/IT, but they currently have a 2-credit "Rethinking Health" course (must enroll by December). https://studies.helsinki.fi/courses/cur/...ing_health

It's probably not worth getting just 2 ECTS evaluated, but you might find some interesting/useful courses on other topics. Or they might add more Health & Wellness options in January. I have no idea, but I think it'd be worth taking the 2-credit course just in case.

Thanks!!! I definitely will check that out!  I am hoping the XAMK courses we did take (GER, NUT) will fit exactly into our AOS.  I emailed back and forth with an assistant dean (health and wellness) at TESU recently and there seemed to be quite a reluctance to accept ANY alternative HEA or FIT courses (I sent a long list of SDC, Coopersmith possibilities as examples of how the HEA and FIT courses could be met by alternative credit to meet AOS requirements).  There was "just" a bit of hope, though, so I'm not giving up.  I think he wanted to know EXACTLY which courses I wanted to use in place of THEIR exact courses.  I'll head over to the other thread and see what's up.  I have LOVED the XAMK courses, they are great, the instructors are very responsive, the course content REALLY good.

So the issue with this particular cert being more difficult to get is that they have a very specific set of courses you must take, rather than something like the Marketing cert, which has 2 specific courses and then 4 elective courses (https://www.tesu.edu/business/marketing).

So really, you are looking for those EXACT courses.  The only one I know for sure is SDC's NUTR 101: Science of Nutrition (although I'm guessing Coopersmith's SCI-101: The Science of Nutrition; SCIx259: The Science of Nutrition (UExcel), and NUTRI101: Introduction to Nutrition (SL) will work as well).

Coopersmith used to have Kinesiology, but no longer does.

The other things that have to do with Fitness and Health don't really match up to the courses TESU requires.  Like, Coopersmith's FIT-101: Fundamentals of Fitness and SL's PE101: Personal Fitness & Wellness don't line up with FIT-230 (which is more about assessing fitness and wellness of others and creating programs for them).

I would give up on this as being way too expensive.  You might find one elsewhere for cheaper as it's just an undergrad cert.
