Other companies that have self administered courses are Straighterline and Aleks, but they are not free.
You can get a degree in Emergency Disaster Services using FEMA credits. They allow you to use 15 towards your major and then the rest as free electives. It's a great degree to get, but only if you're wanting to work in the field and you have prior experience. You have to prove that you've had x amount of hours in the field as a volunteer or paid employee.
You can also get credit from some NFA (National Fire Academy) classes. Look at this post and this one might be helpful too
